"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Route Climbed: from Fersit, I recall Date Climbed: many years agoTwo of my first Munros (not that I'm ticking) climbed with a mate at age 15. We got a bit off route on the descent, and ended up on a broken crag band. He fell off head first, hit a scree slope and slid quite some way on his belly. I let out a pubescent squeek of alarm, but thankfully he got away with a couplpe of minor scrapes
