Yesterday we were on Yr Wyddfa/Snowdon with a fantastic group raising funds for Shooting Star Children’s Hospices
The views weren’t completely clear, but we had good weather & the cloud at the summit added to the mountain atmosphere. Well done to everyone, amazing effort, especially young Arlo, only 6 years, who smashed it & made me feel old. Big thanks to all the participants, everyone at Shooting Stars, Lynn Padarn hotel for the great breakfast afterwards, & to Chris & Brodie for their work & help on the mountain. Some pics attached.

This weekend we are on Yr Wyddfa/Snowdon for a charity sunrise event for Shooting Star Children’s Hospices
Looks like the weather won’t be the best, but that adds to the challenge.
Big up to all our participants for committing to this fundraiser. 😊

The talk last night with Hari Budha Magar was incredible. I’ve been lucky enough to get on many great talks with lots of amazing people over the years, and this one was probably my favourite. It was powerful, & and an honour to meet Hari after the talk.
Chech out his social medias & website as he continues his journey & his adventures.
And you MUST get on one of his events.
Thank you Speakers from the Edge for all the fantastic speakers you have. I’m still buzzing. 😊

Jess is booked onto climbing wall assistant course next month. 😃
A massive step in her life, not just for climbing, but as someone who hasn’t attended school for years & will have no academic qualifications because of that, its a great thing to get on her CV in general, but its her first step towards being a climbing coach. In reality, she’ll pass the award comfortably as she’s a quality climber at high grades, and her teaching & coaching is already very good. But at only 16, this is the only award she can take. Soon as she’s 18, she’ll be taking the other awards.
Some youngsters struggle with the formal education system, that can seem more like a prison camp at times, & is often overwhelming & feels pointless to them too. But if we give our youngsters the opportunities they need, the opportunities & environment that suit them & they are motivated for, then by f**k they can fly high & be successful & prove the doubters wrong.
If you see autism & anxiety as a problem or an inhibitor, then you make it that. If you utilise their differences in a positive way & play to their strengths, you allow them to grow, & because they see the world differently, they can change the world.

Social media apps such as Instagram have been blamed for attracting more people to the mountains.
