Doug Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 At first I was expecting this to be a Joe Simpson story.... Quote

G-spotter Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 He trains for Everest by hiking with his Dog... That's probably better training for Big E, which is essentially high altitude fixed rope hiking, than, say, bouldering or cragging would be Quote
Off_White Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 He trains for Everest by hiking with his Dog... Hmmm, that sounds familiar. Britain: Where you can fall from the top to the bottom of a mountain in only a thousand feet. Quote
Choada_Boy Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I'm going to guess Sgurr Choinnich Mor. Quote
Fairweather Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Hmmm, that sounds familiar. I guess that's just how itt's done over there. Quote
Jim Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Actually he said before the fall he was training for a trek: Potter had been climbing in the Scottish Highlands with his three friends and his dog in preparation for an Everest trek later this year. But after he fell he decided to climb it! What the heck - figured he had good luck. A climber who plunged 1,000 feet from one of Britain's highest mountains - and walked away - is promising to climb Mount Everest later this year. Quote
