I've just got back from Germany having been to the Outdoor Show 2013 at Friedrichshafen, and Chamonix is warm and sunny, as it has been the whole time I've been away apparently. After a snowy start it seems that summer is now here, and I'm itching to make the most of it, so stay tuned over the next couple of days for blog updates.
A full report will be appearing on UKClimbing.com soon, but in the meantime, here's a few shots (and a pretty funny video!) from the show. Thanks Jack, Paul, Alan and Dan for a busy few days!

Look who I ran into! Climbing whilst simultaneously pulling your Mrs up with you is pretty impressive.
