Great Gable
Another great adventure complete.
The usual story. Stephen, Dan and Tony. 27km of walking. 2,000 feet of climb. Driving Rain. Mist covered peaks. Clinging on to rock faces as we ascend. Ankle breaking descents over boulder fields. Broken walking poles. Fingers bloated from grabbing icy boulders. So cold you cannot stop shaking. Arguments about direction. Name calling. Swearing. Moaning. Complaining. Bitching.
Oh, and then there was the chorus of snoring walkers. The sweat of too many men in a single Youth Hostel bunk room. The car stinking of flatulance. 10 hours of catch me, carry me driving. Delusions of enrichment.
Yep, loved every single second of it. When can we finish the job and go up Pillar? Bring it on!
