It’s all about the approach, early morning ops getting onto Mont Buet.

It’s been a crazy winter and conditions all over the place, I loved the pure adventure of this approach, like life so many obstacles to over come.

Although the summit was missed out on, (Jon DNF, thanks Julien) there was so much taken in and learnt, mostly about myself. At 46 it’s clear I still need to look at new, different and challenging ways to develop myself.

I was the weakest link today, but still so good to be out in the mountains and as mentioned below, with a good friend.

Enjoying time in the mountains with a friend even if it doesn’t go as planned. It’s all about learning, practising and talking about way of life.

Winter goal next time 🎿

Transitions are a moment of self talk for me, that is if it’s been demanding or is about to become more demanding, each little process is a calming action.

This process allows me to bring myself back to the moment with out my mind running wild, it’s psychology and if practised can be a really helpful tool.

You may find you have similar processes and do them unaware, so self talking myself through transitions can take my mind off fear and focus on a simple task I know I can do.

I needed my transition process on this day after punching my axe into super hollow sounding start of a cornice on the ridge, the sound sent a moment of shivers down me, I had checked all condition reports, done the route before, had dug a couple micro pits on my route and all was looking good. The last 1.5m was a surprise, there was hardly any cornice but what was there was not holding firm.
So once over it, my transition was about calming down and reflecting on how I was in that position, could I of predicted it? Avoided it?

Do you have any psychological ticks for these kind of situations?

A few weeks of solid conditions has been well timed for heading back out to Chamonix.

Will see how the hill fitness is next week.

📷 always keeping it bright on the hill thanks to @thenorthfaceuk and @auxiliaryworks capturing it all on @goprouk hero11

It all starts from one small step and who’s knows just what can happen on the journey…..amazing sunrise (ok kind of new I might get that) interaction with a beautiful deer (was not expecting that)

Like many adventures, this video starts off pretty boring, slow going but if you stick with it, you find the magic!
