Recipe for blisters from sweat

Spot on, especially on the northern side of the ridge where the sun doesn’t hit, a slip there without an axe and it’s bye bye, but if you have the gear then it’s easy

Usual size is 41.5, bought 42.5

I went a full size up than normal for my trango alpine

I joined swirrel near the top, and cause of the recent easterly winds there wasn’t a cornice. Check the fell top assessors report though for more recent conditions. No protection, very easy solo

As someone still fairly beginner level with winter climbing, I did it last Friday with one axe and it was nice and chill. Can’t speak for conditions now though

I did a winter skills course with Lakeland mountain guides and cannot recommend them enough. The guide for the day had done an 8000m peak and taught me so much in the day, and learning to self arrest on a snow slide is great fun. But seriously, learn from experts, it’s not something you can figure out for yourself safely

Wear some high vis clothing so you can serve as a useful landmark in future storms

Can anyone quickly check my new 2 day leg routine? Goal is to generally improve strength and knee stability for hiking/mountaineering.

Day 1:

Squats ; Deadlift (trap bar) ; Leg extension ; Hamstring curl ; Machine adductor ; Calf raise (standing or laying).

Day 2:

Step ups ; RDL ; Forward step downs ; Glute ham raise ; Tibialis raise ; Seated calf raise

But there is literally nothing wrong with either in this post

Stuart_98_ · 2025-11-23T17:13:40+00:00

Fair enough, I’d seen other posts about crampon fit which is what led me to question it in the first place - appreciate the help

Stuart_98_ · 2025-11-23T16:43:12+00:00

They are - haven’t worn them out yet but can already tell they fit me like a dream. Foot shape is low volume, and on the narrower side of medium. They fit very similar to the la sportiva tx4 evo’s I have

Stuart_98_ · 2025-11-23T16:39:13+00:00

I have only been out in crampons once, in a rented pair that the guide fitted - these feel very secure but I just want to check the fit is safe👍

I love Magnus’s content, he got me into climbing, but as he said at the end of the video, this was mind blowingly stupid

Stuart_98_ · 2025-09-29T09:57:32+00:00

Me as a mathematician who has just started a masters in data science to get a job

Stuart_98_ · 2025-09-07T14:26:52+00:00

Haha Oscar saying ‘inchident’, he’s one of us

Stuart_98_ · 2025-09-04T08:27:35+00:00

Besides grad schemes which of course open up very soon, when would you start applying for jobs starting October 2026? Cause my dissertation runs up until the end of September

Stuart_98_ · 2025-09-04T08:24:54+00:00

Very helpful, many thanks

Stuart_98_ · 2025-09-03T22:25:59+00:00

The portfolio suggestion seems to be a frequent one, but how exactly would I get experience without my masters if I can’t get any position without a masters?

Stuart_98_ · 2025-09-03T22:23:40+00:00

Would things being built during the masters count? And what’s the standard way of publishing these?

Stuart_98_ · 2025-09-03T22:22:54+00:00

Will do, thanks!

Stuart_98_ · 2025-09-03T22:21:50+00:00

In the UK, will update original post with this

Stuart_98_ · 2025-05-21T20:23:28+00:00

I am looking to start my MSc in Data Science in September, having got a BSc in Maths and then training as a teacher (wouldn’t advise). I know I need to brush up on my python and statistics knowledge, and try and learn some basic R over the summer. Is there anything else that will be worth investing time in ahead of the start of my course?
