Embarked on a more serious route which required us to break trail. So for every step forward we ended up sinking two foot into the snow, within minutes thighs were screaming blue murder. Forgot how hard it is cutting a trail through snow drifts, haven't done this snow and ice climbing in Scotland and Nepal! On the odd occasion (British understatement) when we encountered a blip and landed on our asses and without the support of the skis we found ourselves sinking up to our waists in the snow.
All up hill on out, really badly marked maps....
...downhill on the return. Yeeehaaaa!
...mysterious animal tracks, thank fully no bear sightings...
...fantastic workout. Exhausted at the end.
