http://www.vertical-obsession.co.uk/2015/01/mind-over-matter.html
Vertical Obsession The Climbing and Mountaineering Blog of Mark McGinnes. Sunday, 11 January 2015. Mind over matter…. We headed up Coire na Eanachan to blow the cobwebs away…it was cold and clear and the wind was blowing very hard from the West. Good quick half day half hr from Glasgow. Posted by Vertical Obsession.

Vertical Obsession: Lagavulin talking ?
http://www.vertical-obsession.co.uk/2015/01/lagavulin-talking.html
Vertical Obsession The Climbing and Mountaineering Blog of Mark McGinnes. Sunday, 11 January 2015. Kevin picked the worse possible day for his first ever hill walk. Storm force winds meant we stayed relatively low (600m) and made a quick ascent of Mid Hill. He did very well to cope with the conditions underfoot; the wind, the hail, the rain and the snow, not complain, smile and ask if he can come again! Posted by Vertical Obsession.

Vertical Obsession The Climbing and Mountaineering Blog of Mark McGinnes. Monday, 19 January 2015. Back for more . Following on from the soaking he got last week Kevin was persuaded to head to the hills once more. This time I promised, blue skies and snow. I didn’t tell him it would be cold but he should have guessed with the layering and fatter gloves! Kevin did really well for his first time in crampons with good balance and weight distribution….

Vertical Obsession: Bergschrund on the Buachaille...
http://www.vertical-obsession.co.uk/2015/03/bergschrund-on-buachaille.html
Vertical Obsession The Climbing and Mountaineering Blog of Mark McGinnes. Friday, 20 March 2015. Bergschrund on the Buachaille. An early rise saw Gerry and I meet Murray for a day on the Ben. Like waving at the tree, stopping to look at the Buachaille has become a part of what we all do, so pulling into Jacksonville it was clear that Crowberry Gully. Would be in good nick. Plan changed - we walked the walk we have all done 1000 times. The pics say it all. and a wee movie from Murray here. M 07909 960 102.

http://www.vertical-obsession.co.uk/2015/07/the-greatest-mountain-in-human-history_4.html
Vertical Obsession The Climbing and Mountaineering Blog of Mark McGinnes. Saturday, 4 July 2015. The greatest mountain in human history! Great day guiding on Ben Nevis with all the guys making it to the summit via the Carn Mor Dearg Arête. This was particularly satisfying for both Craig and myself as they were all part of a 'Simply Epic Adventures 'organised trip - seven Canadians over here to celebrate their friendship of many years. More info soon here on the Simply Epic Adventures. M 07909 960 102.

Vertical Obsession: Turbo thaw
http://www.vertical-obsession.co.uk/2015/02/turbo-thaw.html
Vertical Obsession The Climbing and Mountaineering Blog of Mark McGinnes. Tuesday, 17 February 2015. Great day on Sunday with Craig in SCNL. The day started early and with a plan to climb Shelf route but conditions looked thin from Jacksonville. Arriving in the Lochan to 100% zero vis meant we went for a route we knew would be climbable in the rising temperatures and more to the point, FIND! More here on the Simply Epic. 3º at 7.45am.

Vertical Obsession: Never hurry a Murray…
http://www.vertical-obsession.co.uk/2015/03/never-hurray-murray.html
Vertical Obsession The Climbing and Mountaineering Blog of Mark McGinnes. Wednesday, 11 March 2015. Never hurry a Murray…. I teamed up with Murray and headed to the Coe. The mild temperatures have wreaked havoc with black rock everywhere. We headed up curved ridge on damp slippy rock till we hit the snow line. There is lots of snow in all the gully lines but a good freeze is needed ASAP. As the headwall looked very steep indeed with monster horizontal cracks. Impressive crevasses at the foot of the Coire.

Vertical Obsession: A bit of a knees up...
http://www.vertical-obsession.co.uk/2015/01/a-bit-of-knees-up.html
Vertical Obsession The Climbing and Mountaineering Blog of Mark McGinnes. Sunday, 11 January 2015. A bit of a knees up. Craig and I headed to Aviemore looking for a couple of days of good climbing conditions before Christmas. The 100mph winds of the previous days had quite literally stripped everything from the Pottage, Aladinn's and Fingers areas leaving only the more sheltered. Posted by Vertical Obsession.
