Mountaineering

A few of the Coasties are away at the moment - no doubt Lee and Chris will tell us what they've been up to in due course, but we have news that Roger is away mountaineering in Snowdonia and today, he reached the summit of Snowdon itself.

Roger's never afraid to try different ideas and techniques and so, even though its his holiday, he's been testing out some equipment designed to make scaling heights like Snowdon easier.  Apparently with careful use of this speciality kit, not only do you get to the top slightly quicker but the potential for pain in the hips and feet is reduced too.

I'm sure Roger will give us a full appraisal on his return, but in the meantime I have managed to find some further information on the enhanced climbing apparatus.  Take a look for yourself
