Very cold today - figure if I leave it I could get the crampons out for a practice ? Days like this i really do worry about those facing nights on the streets - we have a collection point at work for warm clothes and have put in the past sleeping bags , jackets etc - will be seeing what else I can add this time - for all you outdoor folks try to see what you have spare and either give it to someone on the streets who need sit or find a place to donate - I’m sure we all@have more than enough . 🙏 #cold #winter #help #homeless #donate #shelter #outdoor #clothes #charity #scotland #iceclimbing #mountains Wrap up warm folks 🙏
That time comes every few years where after time, use and abuse you need to invest in a new pair of winter climbing pants - and after much trawling , thinking and deliberating I went for the pretty awesome looking @jottnar Valdyr pant - Jottnars excellent design and quality of materials always impresses me - can’t wait to get these out on a hill ! And very sexy packaging lol #Jottnar #ConquerGiants #scottish #alpinism #climbing #mountaineering #alps #scotland #iceclimbing #trailchat #mountains #adventure #munro #petzl #sportiva #travel #livedontexist #instascot #weighmyrack #peoplewhodofunstuff #gym #training #wellbeing #Fjern #SIGGstories
