I attended a very well run Wilderness Medical Training Far From Help course based in Grasmere, a weekend of gluing pork, improvising splints and measuring vital signs. We also found chance to sneak up to Castle Rock and a get route in whilst the rain held off.
Two days in the sunshine climbing with Owen and Steve ticking all of the starred classic routes at Wyndcliffe. Also a good chance to try out some timelapse photography techniques over a whole climb.
Our initial plans for a long backpacking lap of Zirbitzkogel were scuppered when we discovered a large military training ground atop our first campsite. Not comfortable pitching up amongst bullet-ridden tanks and shell casings, we retreated to safety across the ridgeline. Day 2 passed much more smoothly, especially with the surprise addition of an open hut serving tea, beer and jausen.
Short hike up Zwölferhorn for some new views of Wolfgangsee. Quarantine haircuts out in force.
