So I have an antsy Alaskan visiting me between the 11-17th of December. He wants to do something 'out-there!' In Europe - a classic alpine route, long multi-pitch Rock routes that sort of thing...
One Question is - any reccomendations on winter alpine routes that can be done with a short approach as he doesn't have skis with him and renting will be expensive...
Is Rjukan/Norway ice worth an early season punt? Or Kandersteg/ Cogne falls? Or Scotland and pray for some early cold or failing that nice weather for MP rock...ill stop rambling now.
Ukc - what ideas do you have to qwell his insatiable thirst for adventure that's in Europe and can be done in a 'smash and grab' style in a month where the weather is about as predictable as well, the weather.
N.B - he was in the uk earlier this year and we did various classics as Point 5, Old man of Hoy, DoWH...
Thanks
