These are some of the pictures and photos I value the most:

Ben Alder Cottage in February

In the mountains south of Ben Alder, with Schiehallion in the background to the east

The Cuillin, picture taken by D. Wilcox - they were our climbing playground each late May and early June

Corriemulzie country

The heart of Corriemulzie country - the Corriemulzie Club is made up mostly of former members of the St Andrews University Mountaineering Club

Sheneval in the North-West Highlands

View from the South Cluanie Ridge

Looking west down Loch Monar in the autumn Highlands - four more munros climbed that day

Glen Pean bothy - the Hogmanay retreat of the STAUMC for many years, and each winter the base for the legendary feich trip

Frosts in Glen Pean - Prince Charlie came this way on his escape from the redcoats after Culloden

Right branch of Y Gully - not me or my friends, but we climbed it on a December day like this

The climb steepens to a cornice at the top. My friend JC and I had an epic weekend based at Jean's Hut.

My friend JC looking serious, photo taken at our basecamp in Greenland, the guy was inspirational

My friend and climbing partner Alex Horstmann - together we did the old Scottish classic routes

Agag's Groove on the Buchaille in Glencoe - Alex and I did routes like this, and old classics like Cioch Direct in the Cuillin -

Alex was simply exuberant company, and someone I totally trusted when I was climbing
