> I have not climbed or hiked in Scotland, but the people I talked with about the Grampians have told me it is a beautiful and difficult place. The high latitude (think northern Canada) combined with winds from Atlantic depressions makes for a difficult climate. That said, I want to get to the West Highland trail with the Hunqapillar!

Definitely the high latitude makes a big difference. I've read a couple of good books about Denali (hey, we can all dream!). Some climbers who have climbed the Himalayas, Alps, and Andes will look at the relatively low elevation and wind up underestimating the extreme challenges climbing so far north present. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
