This particular gorge was climbed by zig zag crafty paths and a mild spot of scrambling. It has to be that way as you would not want to go off route traversing such serious mountains. Any time we did go off route deliberately as a perceived short cut it didn't turn out that way and we often had to backtrack. The weight and size of the packs was the main hindrance along with the heat but you could use the huts and get all your main meals for an extra £20-25 quid a night and save weight. The huts tend to be busy though in peak period and I find it hard to sleep in them. The chains and ladders came later.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-43518016145092870522015-10-09T16:02:17.313+01:002015-10-09T16:02:17.313+01:00How on earth do you get up those huge blocks in th...How on earth do you get up those huge blocks in the last photo? Have they got chains and stemples and stuff on them? or is there a crafty way through it all?<br /><br />I always put those luxury 'yachts' in quotes as they don't bear any resemblence to a real yacht and I've no idea why they get it so wrong calling them that! I think they're vulgar and horrid, whereas, I love to see a real yacht.<br /><br />I've flown over Corsica a few times and was amazed at the absolute wall-to-wall mountains all across the island! I'd love to see it one day. And I'm with you on the hot places thing - I much prefer them, although they do make hillwalking much harder.Carolhttp://www.mountaincowardadventures.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
