Final Makalu Report - Ueli Steck / and back to the training for me!

Heres Ueli Stecks final report from his recent trip to Makalu (8463),http://ueli-steck.petzlteam.com/index.php/. It makes a great read if you have a spare moment, and really tells the tale of how demanding an ascent up the worlds 5th highest mountain in this style is, and not forgetting Ueli is an increadibly fit alpanist! Again Ueli didnt have good conditions at all, a bit like his trip to Gasherbrum II earlier in the year.



And for me, the finger tendon i damaged earlier in the year is coming along brilliantly, probably around 85% back to full fitness. The past week i have been putting in a few light sessions on the finger board, as i hope to build some of the lost strength back, as i feel pretty weak atm!!
Also i have been out with Wayne and Allterrainroutes http://www.allterrainroutes.co.uk/, the past couple of weeks, and had a few great night rides which are keeping the fitness up!!
