QUOTE OF THE WEEK

With one month to go before we head to the Alps, I thought I would use a Dougal Haston quote cited in the Connor's book. After all, Dougal was one of the first Brits to jump into the Alpjne Winter climbing scene.

"In winter, the mountains seem to regain their primitive, virginal pride, and no more do the howling, littering summer masses tramp their more accessible slopes."
