An afternoon at the Nevis range

Just a quick update of what I have been up to. Yesterday we got a lift with the gondola in the Nevis range, and took the Red route down. Nice, and pretty steep in places for a red.

After a bit of climbing we reached a real gem, a steep, rutted out old hikers trail going more or less straight in the fall line

Properly steep, nice trail Properly steep, nice trail

A few stops to soak in the view and ponder some line choices

Nice view, the trail continues down to the right, trust me Nice view, the trail continues down to the right, trust me

A few more climbs and descents of the little less scary variety rounded off our day, thank you Spook for brilliant guiding. Today we have a big loop planned, including the "Devils staircase", sounds like brilliant fun
