Winter in the mountains will never not be fun. It’s even more magical when the weather plays ball! . . . #mountainlife #getoutside #chamonixvalley #snowdays #winteradventures #skiing #eatsleepskirepeat #tothemountains #mountaindays #landscape_captures #cloudinversion #wesharethealps #alps #frenchalps #altitudeiseverything #skilife #mountainviews #mountainphotography #mountainphotos #mountains #mountainscapes #beautifullview #alpinewonderland #snowymountains

Hands down ice climbing is my favourite way to climb. But when you live in London trying to explain to people that climbing on a frozen waterfall, using spiky things to help you in minus temperatures, is a good way to spend time just doesn’t seem to translate. . . . #iceisnice #iceclimbing #climbergirls #womenclimb #winterclimbing #winteradventures #frozenwaterfall #iceclimber #iceclimbinggirl #womenonlead #wonderfulwildwomen #outdoorwomen #optoutside #cogneiceclimbing #aostavalley #climbing #climbinglife #iceadventures #mountains #eatsleepclimbrepeat #ice #toughgirltribe #adventurequeensuk #londonescapist #adventurelife #girlswhoclimbice #mountainlife #icetools #getoutside #type2fun

The down grade is real! Last year I took a pretty massive break from climbing. Between buying a house, returning to work after a sabbatical and juggling various life events trying to fit time in at the wall came last on my list, especially when I’d rather be pulling on rock or ice instead of plastic. After a break of almost a year, I’m only just starting to get back into a regular cadence again, but my god did I not realise how badly I would down grade! Grades I would have warmed up on before are posing challenges and my previous 7B climbs feel like a pipe dream, as my uncoordinated limbs try to remember what to do. It’s become equal parts frustrating, entertaining and comical! . . . #climbing #climbingproblems #climbinggirls #climbinglife #climblondon #c_l_i_m_b #goclimb #pullingonplastic #indoorclimbing #climbingwall #climbinggym #castleclimbing #londonladiesclimb #womenclimb #womenclimbers #goclimbing #eatsleepclimbrepeat #londonclimbing #climblondon #girlswhoclimb #climbergirl #climbingtraining

Reason number a million for loving the mountains - when you’re just a dot of a person amongst a vast array of white snow and rocky edges. Always so lucky to have pictures like this when I’m too far away from people to ask for them 😂 . . . #skiing #skilife #liveskirepeat #getoutside #toughgirltribe #likeamountaingirl #adventurequeensuk #mountainwomen #radgirlslife #skitouring #skiderando #uphillathlete #mountaindays #alps #frenchalps #wesharethealps #letourdomainedebalme #chamonixvalley #montblancmassif #altitudeiseverything #girlsonskis #skitouringwomen #stayawesome #mountains #skimo #mountainlife #alpineadventures

Blue sky’s, snow showers and mountains as far as you can see with no towns in view. Can’t complain when you get all of this in the same day, it certainly makes for a stunning day out! . . . #alps #skitouring #swissalps #skiing #skilife #getoutside #winterfun #snowtime #mountainview #wesharethealps #liveskirepeat #skirando #mountainadventures #dreamingofmountains #mountainviews #mountains #outdoorlife #keepexploring #findyouradventure #landscape_captures #snowandice #skiingisfun #snow #snow❄️❄️❄️ #altitudeiseverything #skitrip #coldugrandsaintbernard
