New feature in latest issue of Mountain Pro Magazine

Mountain Pro Magazine is a publication I’ve been proud to both read and contribute to for a while now. Edited by David Lintern, it includes articles on a wide range of mountain subjects, from climbing and skiing to conservation and natural history.

The latest is a ‘winter-weight’ issue including articles by Nick Bullock and Tom Ballard, a look at the best winter gear, and several great pieces on mountain history. My feature, Pilgrim’s Progress, is all about a century of winter climbing equipment: how things have changed, mainly for the better, and what it’s actually like to use Victorian gear in the Scottish mountains.
