Thanks for such a detailed report. The climbing options are looking pretty limited. It’ll be interesting to see if winter will return, There is time yet!!! Thanks again

Thanks for your entertaining and enlightening blogs this season. I’ve enjoyed reading them and being introduced to your Apprentice and SIT among others. Thanks for today’s well timed photos as well – the Staghorn gully climbers.
