Skiing & Rope Work

I have been skiing for around twelve years. It started as something we did on family trips, and it has become one of the things I look forward to every winter.

Recently, as preparation for formal qualifications, I have been practicing basic ascent and descent on semi-static rope and rescue-oriented systems. Loading, descending, hauling: I am learning each piece step by step while checking safety as I go.

Someday I want to try ice climbing. From skiing to rope, it is fun to watch an interest in mountains and vertical space keep connecting to the next thing.
