On 30th March, Helen Rennard completed a winter round of the Munros, setting a new record of 80 days 9.5 hours. We caught up with her to talk sleep deprivation, wound management, and climbing a new grade IX winter route just the day before starting.

Truly amazing Helen has done it with its majority part self-supported, while keeping an extremely low profile. Scotland is pretty big after all and driving back to a single place (her home) usually takes hours, whereever coming back from, and takes a similar amount of time to get to the bottom of another hill.  No wonder her sleep was deprived. Hats off to Helen!!

Fantastic!

Great stuff. Well done Helen, that's an absolutely amazing achievement. 

Averaging 3.5 munros a day plus logistics for almost 3 months takes some serious motivation

Truly humbling. I'm never going to moan about being tired in the hills again. Awesome achievement.

Amazing effort Helen, Congratulations. We need a catch up next time I'm up. 

Amazing! 

Wonderful stuff. 

Amazing accomplishment, all the better that it was under the radar. It's still possible to do things just for yourself these days!

I've climbed with Helen in winter a few times, she's badass, not surprised by this feat. Well done Helen!
