Siamese Twin Crux
At the moment Blogger is having trouble with uploading images. This is not just my site, but has effected others as well. Watch this space.We
(Chris and I) climbed Siamese Twin, which is the thinner ice groove to the right of Left Twin. Well done Chris. It is well protected with wires in its lower section, plus two or three ice screws higher up. It is rather harder than Left Twin. Watch out for bombing the crowds in Left Twin. Sorry Jamie!

Hi Alan

Sorry about this but your blog won't take my password... could you stick this comment on the thread?

I think I'll call it a day after this... :)

Folks, please read my original comment more carefully.

I didn't say "Don't take action yourself". I wouldn't say that, because I do take action myself. What I said was: "Don't be fooled by big business and the politicians into thinking that global warming is all your problem, and not mainly theirs".

Compare global poverty. You think for a moment that you can solve that one by not buying your kids any birthday presents? The causes of poverty are systemic and political, and the same applies to the causes of global warming.

Come on, get out of the guilt trap, and campaign for political change. If you want self-flagellation there's no need to go on an I'm-not-green-enough bender; you can get all the pain you need just walking up the Allt a'Mhuillin.

Rant over. :)
