Being impressed by Lorenzo's high quality pictures, I asked myself which indicator could be a good measure of it. The best rated picture may only be a pure luck (also my best rated picture is far from being my favourite one). The number of posted pictures is even worse. So, I looked at the rating of the 27th picture on member's profile page - the last one, showed in a series of thumbnails. These are ...

I want to do the Italian normal route on MB in late July and want to acclimatize with a PD or easy AD climb a day or two before. A relatively short rock, ice or mixed route from the Italian side would be ideal. Any suggestions?

Opposition is still ongoing, with environmental impact reports being prepared and signatures against the project being taken by the Plataforma en Defensa ...

Hi all,

I'm going to the Pyrenees next saturday for a week with a couple of mates. Our aims are Posets and Aneto and hopefully another peak as well. I'm looking for weather and avalanche reports for that area, can anyone provide me with a link?

Cheers,

Carl.
