We had to go in and extract a client who had very bad blisters, he was on a 5 day traverse of the Sierra Nevada, so we took the Khumbu and Bruno with us for a day out. We left Lanjaron at 9am sharp, drove to the Hoya de Mora above the Sierra Nevada Ski [...]
Yes its true, we were out with 3 Spanish Highs clients in the high Sierra Nevada and climbing a peak called Cerro de Caballo (3009m). Circling above us and the mountain were around 16 BIG birds, first thoughts were Golden Eagles but as we got higher and nearer to them, no for sure they were [...]
I have recently spent 3 days in the Sierra Nevada, followed by a day with brid watching clients (report to come). We are having a busy time in our “quiet” time of the year. We have had 10 guys out who have done a 6 day traverse of the 3000m peaks in the Sierra Nevada. [...]

Had a great day out with a couple of clients and the dogs in the Sierra Nevada. Khumbu and Bruno had a ball playing in the snow. Khumbu did his bit in helping pull Richard up hill on his skis (skijoring) whilst Bruno got the real fun part of chasing Richard on his skis down [...]
We had a great day in the snow yesterday with Khumbu and Bruno up in the Sierra Nevada. It was a blue sunny sky at 18C deg, perfect. Khumbu did very well with his skijoring in helping Richard up hill on his skis and Bruno just wanted to save all skiers!
