This weekend we had Martin from Marmot UK staying at the lodge. Marmot are one of our key sponsors and it’s always nice to see them up here.

On Saturday Pauline, Scott and Martin headed into Coire and T’sneachda and climbed The Genie; an under-rated VS,4C on Aladdin’s Buttress. Martin had brought a new Marmot jacket with him for us to have a look at. The Stretch-man, it’s a lightweight, super stretchy, waterproof and breathable shell. I did a pitch wearing the jacket and was very impressed. Keep your eyes open for this jacket, due to be released in spring 2010.

After The genie we headed up the ultra classic Fingers Ridge and moved together in an alpine style.
We all had a great weekend and I am pleased to say that we are set to continue this partnership well into the future.
