It’s Sunday and Lhotse asked if he can be in today’s Insta post.

So what better than a husky in the snow on top of a hill with #montblancmassif in the back ground. Oh and not forgetting a beautiful ☀️
Have a great great Sunday from Lhotse and the rest of us.

Grand Prarion is an amazing spot for its 360 degree views.

So an obvious spot to play with @djiglobal mini 2 drone

Plus getting some great shots with new @tamronuk SP 70-200mm F/2.8 Di VC USD G2

Opted for a hike up with Oakley and Lhotse who love any chance to be in the snow.

Taking all my camera toys basically gives me another excuse to go into the hills

Choosing who or even what to follow nowadays is no

Choosing who or even what to follow nowadays is not straight forward.

All the smoke and mirrors it’s hard to find the genuine among the not so.

Trust and believe in your values, if people don’t measure up they may not be worth following.

It’s not always about having people telling you your amazing, it’s about having honest people that will tell you what you need to hear.

I’ve just written a short article/blog called the “The Fear From Looking Up”

It goes into barriers we create in our minds and how we can try to maybe not fully remove them but at least learn how we can climb over them.

As a coach I believe we have the tools to achieve our goals we just have to believe we can use them.

Check link in Bio and hope it’s helpful

Working my weaknesses, out on the local crag.
Basic routes and some long rappel’s to keep me focused for the alpine season.

Breaking down objectives then focusing in on all the pieces to build the jigsaw.

Snowy adventures are always the best when shared with my crew.

This season gone was all about finding new touring routes around the valley and beyond, once I checked a route we would all go back a family and enjoy together.

Adventure focus has now shifted, but time with the family crew is still the best.

These moments are about self growth, deciding to push yourself and get into a zone of discomfort.

There is no competition with others just with myself, there is no ego, nothing to prove to anyone.

Self growth means discarding barriers that have been built up and trusting in you.

I work with so many amazing people, all who inspire me with their drive to achieve. Find your drive, don’t build barriers but bust them down.

Well timed! to arrive home to lockdown announcement for the next month.

#allalinhorn4027m summit and ski off the saddle was just a perfect day, when everything lines up and gifts you a beautiful day in the hills.

So happy to have started the alpine season with this.

Cheers Mike, great partner in the hills as always.

I love this shot, totally by accident having not set exposure properly, but it has removed so much noise and just left what’s important.

Sometimes not following the norm can lead to great things, break away from the crowd and do something a little different.

We grow when we try new and different things, we don’t grow by following the routine day in day out.

Keeping focus on who we are, want we want and how

Keeping focus on who we are, want we want and how we are going to achieve it, is not easy.

Pausing and regrouping to find your focus is good practise, even if you think your focused, take a moment and just check you are really doing all you can to get where you want to be.

Have a great week everyone
