  2. @Heason_Lissa I hope he carried you the rest of the way up...
  3. @timsadler Nice. I love protos, 'it's just like the real thing except nothing on it works as intended' :-)
  4. @timsadler Sorry - but that all sounds about right. I remember reading about it at the time. How did it scar you?
  5. Berghaus Brit' Julia Pickering makes first snowboard ascent/descent on Mt Bear in Alaska - some nice images too bit.ly/LJGL3H
  6. @timsadler I knew I'd forgotten one - just before my time in the industry, but notorious in its day... and stupidly expensive too, no?
  7. @Heason_Lissa So you can stop being smug now... ;-)
  8. Pivoting packs? Berghaus Bioflex, Craghoppers FlowMotion(?), Pod one that stopped at proto stage, BD - any we've missed. Ergon, sort of...

  10. @Heason_Lissa No, I mean feet, these are UK mountains that TGO was talking about. Nothing worse that supplementary oxygen on Helvellyn...
  11. @JDeasey @essentialpeak @mg1mikep I think the Queen would want you to run guys...
  12. @TGOMagazine People should be prevented from using supplementary oxygen below 4,000 feet.
  13. Properly thought-provoking Sherpa's take on Everest 2012 on the NYTimes site via @calmandfearless - bit.ly/Li4Tvb

  16. @WalksBritain @MyOutdoorsUK I blame technology, it'll never catch on, mark my words...
  17. Taps fingers impatiently... load damnit :-/
  18. Mapping apps go 3D - worldwide three-dimensional mapping from Maps 3D - smart stuff using OSM and NASA... bit.ly/KrUU8O
