Damn, it's getting really boring waiting for the trails to thaw, but found this story from Scotland's Ben Nevis. Seemed similar to stories we've read from Mt. Whitney:

http://www.scotsman.com/news/scottish-ne...tupid-1-2879898

Ben Nevis, while 10,000 lower in altitude than Whitney, has it's own special hazards; not to mention that it's a 4,000 foot day hike/climb. Northern Scotland is about the same latitude has Nova Scotia, Canada...cold and wet.

The comments alone are worth the read -- priceless, as they oversay here in the states.


The body betrays and the weather conspires, hopefully, not on the same day.

Feckless = gormless = stupid know-it-all

Roll on, Scottish independence!
