Wish I could take a hike like this... though I wouldn't be too eager to join the baldy club
Maybe one day...But... don't you miss the rolling-rolling hills a bit?
Thanks BP, I do miss the rolling hills of the Cairngorms a little
I think in winter in particular they are much better as they are still accessible where most of ours are closed out by unbelievable amounts of snow
I also miss them for the ease of ascent of many of them so you can have a 'lazy day' on 'walk up' mountains, and more than anything I miss the ability to breath enough oxygen when working hard.....damn altitude
I miss the USA too particularly the deserts of the south west....I guess when we have had something for a long time we will always miss it when we have it no longer. But man, do I love these mountains out here, the sheer scale of the scenery makes it such a wonderful place to experience, the way I see it I'm very lucky to be able to compare the three areas
