Since my Hill Running pages made it to my site first, there’s already a brief summary there of my climbing past, overweight years and return to fitness. Now, I’d considered twisting that heading to squeeze in some stuff about more technical climbing and mountaineering, but never quite managed to convince myself that (despite some startling feats by others) the ascents of peaks like Hood and Rainier belonged under ‘hill running’! So I thought I’d better create a new space for this, and here it is (new, July 2007) with a belated account of my 2006 American trip to start filling it out...
For the record, the photograph shows me on the summit of The Brothers, Washington, and was taken on 6 July 2006 by my brother Angus. (I was going to superimpose a caption on it with this information, but didn’t like the look of that!)
