Zig Zags

Eddie following the fixed rope up 'Cho Oyu'

Today working for Jagged Globe, I was out with Eddie again. There was a poor weather forecast for climbing on snow today, so we headed for Glencoe and the Zig Zags to work on moving up and down fixed ropes, belaying, ropework and different ways to get off climbs. There were other teams on the route including PYB and Adele Pennington.

Eddie plans on going to Cho Oyu possibly next year, so we fixed a line on the Zig Zags and worked our way up - followed by abseiling down the line after reaching the 8201m summit! I did get a headache, but I don't think it was the serious altitude, just my cold!

After another great day (in the rain and wind) we headed home to plan tomorrow.
