Jas and I took a short scramble up the Rimwall this weekend. For a couple of old farts, we gained 975m of elevation in a decent time of 3 hours, with only a few minor injuries and a bit of loud swearing along the way to the summit. Okay, maybe there was more swearing than I'd care to admit, but whatever, we were alone most of the way up, so it's not like we were destroying someone's serene day in the mountains. There was a bit of mud and melting snow that made for some slick conditions near the top, but overall, it was a pretty good day for a workout.
Mind you, after 1 day in the mountains, I drank 7 beers and ate a like a porker the rest of the weekend, so... gains wasted.

Only a couple minor battle scars from the day.
