>>1088987Been climbing for for about 5 years now, was a bike messenger before that. Climbing is an awesome job for an /out/ist. The pay is decent enough, but the major bonus is the industry is so transient that no one bats an eyelid when say I am buggering off for a couple of months to hike. They normally tell me to get in touch once I am back or I can get work within a week of returning.
>>1088753Nice, I will look forward to a trip report or pics in the recent /out/ings thread! If the WHW goes well have a look at the Cape Wrath Trail for some real Scottish hiking!
>>1087460I'm panning my own variation of the Snowdonian Mountain way. Something like an extension of the Welsh 3000s. Hoping to get a decent 4-5 day walk out of it. But we will see. Was going to head there this weekend then realised it's bank holiday and that both the roads and hills will be swarming with people.
I'm going shill Trekkretent here as well. Great Scottish tent maker. They also sell Cuben Fiber tarps if you're into pricey but light gear.
