Managed to get from the surgeon's table to E10 in five months. Black Thistle E10 7a in Glen Nevis the other day. Even a few weeks ago I wouldn't really have had the form. Training works!

To bring this map to life a bit more, it's the lochs in the opening sequence of this video. youtube.com/watch?v=-Yiby2…

If you let it, competitive sport can chew you up and spit you out in very bad shape. Take good care of yourself and know when to opt out of stuff like this.

If anyone’s looking for the exact opposite of the Tory conference in their feed this week, here’s something.

This was a fascinating and informative way to spend my lunch break. It's an engaging conversation that touches on recent Everest disasters, the ethics of film making and the nature of storytelling, mental health, and the healing power of nature. Highly recommended.

A discussion I shot with Joe French about how he recovered from post traumatic stress and other mental health issues. Joe lost many colleagues in the 2014 and 2015 Everest disasters. davemacleod.com/blog/outofmind

begins.
This is all I'll be eating for the month of October.
McDonald's plain burger patties, egg yolks scrambled in beef dripping, salt and pepper, and vinegar.
Today, 15 patties and 6 yolks. I expect this to vary wildly.

Last year I lost 6kg of fat I didn't know I had, got my sense of smell back, & felt incredible mental clarity.
I'll be comparing to that experience and raising awareness of several issues: availability of fast healthy options, role of big business, health of meat.

It seems pretty clear to me that climate change activism needs a strategy overhaul that goes back to square one. Tomato soup, Greta Thunberg, COP meetings etc are making no impact on the key metric.

I followed the research on the now massive sports supplement collagen for a few years. Interesting basic science but lack of any evidence it actually prevents injuries. I made a video on why I don't supp and what I do instead:

Call your mom

2 weeks ago Saturday I called my parents. Dad was awake, mom was asleep.

Told my dad I would call mom back the next day, Sunday.

Sunday passed and I forgot.

Woke up Monday to a voicemail of my dad crying telling me my mom passed.

Life’s short

Call your mom

I hope that politicians, education leaders, even NHS leaders don't underestimate the preventative impact of outdoor education on long term mental and physical health. Respect to those who do recognise what a big deal it is.

A sizeable share of this year's fires have occurred within Canada's 'Managed Forests'. Canada does report to the UNFCCC how much CO2 is emitted by fires within managed forests, but it doesn't consider them as 'anthropogenic' emissions, so it doesn't influence Net Zero plans.
