Ben Lui is considered to be the finest peak in the Southern Highlands 🗻
I once took a photo of it rising majestically like a marble throne above arctic tundra 📸
From that moment I wanted climb it. But would it live up to the promise? 🙏

There was a time when Everest had not been climbed. What was the highest mountain ever climbed back in those days? And what was the one before that? 📏
Let me take you back in time as I follow a sequence of mountains back to the 19th century ⏳ www.markhorrell.com/blog/2025/a-...

A short distance south of Pen y Fan, the highest peak in the Brecon Beacons, is a range of peaks less well known to the outside world 🍟
The Rhigos Hills are home to the highest point in the county of Glamorgan 🗻

Ever since a hike in the Apennines, the promise of ladders on a route has made me nervous 🪜
As we approached the Grand Balcon Sud, I wondered if they would be like the ones on Corno Piccolo? 😨
You can see for yourself in my latest videos 🎥

The article doesn't mention his earlier career as a manufacturer of LSD (google Operation Julie for more). He later became an Everest expedition pioneer. RIP ➕

Well said @springinsfeld.bsky.social, but less drama on Everest? There will be pigs flying to the summit before then 🐖✈️

It was going to be a heck of a day. We had over 2,000m to ascend in tropical heat 🌞
Edita and I couldn’t think of another occasion when we'd ascended so many metres in a single day 👣

The Dominican Republic has 5 mountain ranges, inc. the highest peak in the Caribbean 🇩🇴
I would never have travelled there had Edita not been working in Haiti, but I found a great destination for short multi-day treks 👣
But boy is it humid 😓
