The accident I was involved with highlighted a few issues about winter climbing that other climbers might find beneficial. This short article is not meant as a 'whipping stick' for the unfortunate climbers that I had to help rescue. Hopefully no offence is meant in mentioning their misfortune but good lessons can be learned for all. http://www.ukclimbing.com/articles/page.php?id=935 UKC News 2008-05-06T00:00+01:00 A summary of all the latest content on UKClimbing.com from the past month, including: 8 new articles, 8 product announcements and 2 independent gear reviews from the UKC testers. http://www.ukclimbing.com/articles/page.php?id=932 Jack Geldard - Editor - UKC 2008-05-06T00:00+01:00 In this article series I Want That Job!

You must go through the stress in order to learn. Here's how...to learn how to fall! http://www.ukclimbing.com/articles/page.php?id=928 Alex Pollitt 2008-04-29T00:00+01:00 The brief is to design four banner adverts for climbing products from La Sportiva, Beal and Petzl using images from their websites and you can incorporate some of your own images.
