8am Sunday Morning
Last week I had an MRI on my leg/hip as it was still bothering me, turns out I have a stress fracture, so unfortunately I won’t be going to Alaska this year. I’m pretty gutted. Having only recovered from injury and then to get another one is frustrating to say the least! . So when I had to go to Co. Clare last Monday for the week to do a lot of school talks I wasn’t feeling up for it, but having spent the week visiting the schools definitely got me out of the poor me’s. Whatever about inspiring kids and all that, but when teachers are telling you they are so amazed I managed to keep them quite for 40 mins then you know you’re doing something right 😂 . Huge thanks to @elevatefoundation @johnjohnburke and the @armadaspanishpoint for the week. @jigsaw_ymh
Nice to check out of the madness of Xmas and come to Gran Can to visit my mum, have a good one everyone x
This just popped up in my memories on FB, 2 years ago today in Annapurna Base Camp, after climbing Ama Dablam with @ascenthimalayas I was offered a spot on an expedition to attempt a winter ascent of Annapurna 8091m despite being the first 8,000er climber, it’s now the least climbed and statistically the most dangerous due to exposure to avalanches, but Ming’s & @pasangtenzing reckoned we could be fortunate in that in December there is less snow so the risk could be mitigated, but we faced very low temps and winds that would eventually cause us to go home not having climbed much higher than 6,000m. Still it was an amazing place to hang out for a few weeks with @fredrikstrang
