Notes written by the people who were there.
Gear, weather, food and the small decisions that make a night outside go well. One or two pieces a month, never more.
Latest
From the last three seasons
Written by guides between trips, usually the week after the weather did something interesting.
- Packing for a night in the pines
What actually earns its place in your pack when the temperature drops after dark — and what you can leave at home. - Why small groups make better trips
Eight guests, one guide, no queues. How group size changes the way a landscape feels. - A guide to camp coffee
Grind size, water temperature and the one piece of kit our guides refuse to travel without. - What we cook when it rains
The one-pot rule, a stew that survives a 40-knot gust, and why dishes dry slower than you expect. - The case for arriving on a Tuesday
Midweek trips are quieter, cheaper to travel to and — according to nine seasons of notes — better. - Reading weather on the ridge
Three signs our guides act on, and why turning around is a skill rather than a failure.
One note a month
A short letter, mostly about weather and food.
Season openings, new routes, and the occasional gear list. No countdowns, no discount blasts, and you can leave whenever you like.
Reading is good. Sleeping outside is better.
Three camps, all of them hosted, all of them capped at eight guests.
