Basking in sunshine

14 degrees today! In January, in the alps! What is going on? T shirt weather all day! So warm. Walked up to cresciano and it felt cold so packed the thermals and walked in, that warmed us up and we never cooled down! Did some bimbling and had a quick look at Franks wild years, but the pinch was greasy and I couldn't make the right heel stick to match. Went and sought out Kirk windfarm (v.funny ed!) which looks well feasible. Had a bit of a pootle and did first couple of moves but had really got hands so sacked it. Walked on to la boule but again, the hands were so hot there was just no point. Did some easy slab stuff and spotted james valiantly trying la boulette. Walked down in darkness without a coat on. Cannot believe temp. Its still t shirt weather and its January! Mental.

Hope it cools down tomorrow! There were a few clouds about today for the first time all week, so I wonder if there's some kind of weather front incoming... Ulp!

Well never a dull moment in Swiss by the sounds of it! Trip over the Splugen Pass sounds cool and to see Zee Magic Wood again in the snow. I was hoping you were going to check out the Murgthal, but only because the name makes me laugh seeing as its impossible to say it without impersonating a German Luftwaffe Commandant.

The weather has indeed been crazy and they are calling this the warmest January since 1911, having said that, it is supposed to get propoer cold here tonight, so I am off to N.Wales to meet Chris and bust my Cave of Power hymen which should be cool.

Not sure how much longer you chumps have left out there, but needless to say, go hell for leather! It soent matter if its a total blood bath, just keep cranking. Good luck and see you soon
