For those that have never done it - do it; it is a challenge but no pain, no gain! You do need to be up to it, technically and physically but Helen and Leighton will advise. If they say no, then is for your own good, don't be offended. If you do go, then you'll be in no better hands than with James; he was excellent and really knew his mountain craft. A fantastic experience and if the video lulls you into thinking its flat and gentle; its not!!!!
