If there is one place on earth where climbers celebrate the arrival of the next snowstorm, it has to be Scotland. Each winter, pounded by the North Atlantic winds, the Scottish Highlands are covered by a layer of snow and frost at the mercy of weather conditions. Here, winter climbing has existed for more than a century, and the smell of adventure is as authentic as the whisky borne of the local peat. Climbing is done from the ground up, without bolts, and generally onsight. An introduction to the very modern ethics of Scottish mixed climbing. It’s in those condition that Ueli Steck flashed “the secret” (X, 10), the hardest climb in Ben Nevis.

bit.ly – a url shortening service becane now only four characters long saving You your valuable characters in tweets. It is now called j.mp. I’ve created 2 j.mp bookmarklets to use in your browser. They should work with all decent browsers, where the bit.ly bookmarklets work. Just drag the one you like to the bookmark bar to save.
This one will open the j.mp shortener in new window:
NOTICE: These bookmarklets are not officially supported by j.mp. They were created by altering the official bit.ly bookmarklet and they work for me. However I am not able to provide any support.
Some engineer out there has solved P=NP and it’s locked up in an electric eggbeater calibration routine. For every 0×5f375a86 we learn about, there are thousands we never see.
If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.
