Returned to the Dolomites and climbed the Via Ferrata Brigata Tridentina in cold damp conditions with Shaun and Gerena. The first snowfall was 2 days before this, and it made it much more difficult and uncomfortable. But great to be back and fabulous views and exercise. 4th September 2017.

This is a rock face on the north side of Beinn Ime, a mountain in Arrochar, 40 miles from Glasgow in Scotland. Traditionally every year it builds up into a mass of ice formations, shaped by the wind. Beautiful sunny day Saturday 11th February 2017.

An annual outing, taking work buddies into the hills. Bank Holiday Monday 30th May, me and Iain had great conditions on Beinn an Lochain [901 m above sea level] west of Arrochar. An untypical view of the rear of The Cobbler, with Beinn Narnain to the left and the conical appearance of Ben Lomond in the distance, looking eastwards. Argyll & Bute, Scotland.

This is another photo for my Cobbler album. I led this walk on Saturday 27th June for Glasgow HF Outdoor Club. Up the riverbed route, but it was too wet to walk on the stone. Myself, Allan and Stewart, with a couple of other tiny people accidentally creating a cool photo bomb. Ben Arthur (884 m), above Arrochar, Argyll & Bute, Scotland.

About 10 years ago, me and my mate Doug began a three year run of climbing holidays in the Italian Dolomites. This was a via ferrata route called Piz da Lech. We were fortunate that co-incidentally we were photographed by some other climbers at our hotel, who caught us scaling the rock face centre screen. How lucky were we? Above Corvara and Arraba in the Val Badia, Italy. I'm wearing the red helmet.

At the end of a wonderful day on the mountains above Ballachulish, the sun said goodnight in spectacular fashion. Looking west over across Loch Linnhe to the Ardgour peninsula from South Ballachulish, close to the bridge. Sunday 27th April 2014, Scotland

16th February 2014 on the summit of Meall nan Tarmachan [1,044 metres] in Tayside, looking west towards 2 distant climbers on the peak of Meall Garbh [1,026 metres]. A rare dry and beautiful sunny day in one of the wettest winters I can remember. Near Killin, Scotland with Shaun + Gerena. To see the larger sizes, click More options then See all sizes

View North from Stob Dearg (Buachaille Etive Mor) across the A82 to Ben a' Chrulaiste, Blackwater Reservoir with my buddy Carl. 17 June 2006

The view south from the summit of Sgor Gaoith. A perfect day in the snow. 30th December 2007

This is quite possibly the best example of what draws me to the mountains. I'm lucky that I get to see these places in my country, that the majority don't know exist. Yes, it's the Cobbler and me - again. Ben Arthur above Arrochar at 2,900 ft above sea level. Scotland, November 2008. Climbing The Cobbler
