Getting Started!

What to do...what to do.....hmmmmmm!
At the moment I have so many questions (which round first, what should the legs be, tent/bothy/bivvy/B&B, reccy it or don't, solo or with company, how to raise the money?Mostly I just worry that I might have bitten off more than I can chew here. 

At the moment there is too much snow and darkness to start training for this challenge in earnest. So, building on a base of winter climbing and some hill walking, i'm off to the Alps on Boxing Day for a month of skiing (or falling with skiis on) and some ice climbing.

I'm hoping that this will give me a decent level of winter fitness that I can build on in 2011 when the snows thaw.....
