2nd August. South Ridge of The Lagginhorn.

The key phrase of the day from Owain was "Crampons on now, quick as you can lads", the emphasis being on "Quick as you can."

I managed to secrete a stale salami sandwich in my jacket pocket in between rock pitches but Alex caught sight of the morsel and insisted on eating half of it.

Also Alex only received one bollocking today on the rather steep descent from the summit - some carelessness with the rope caused me to trip over in the frozen snow when it caught one crampon.

It crossed my mind during this sprawling session that we might all be descending slightly quicker than was the intention, however I recovered quite well - all part of the Alpine experience?
