Getting high in the Highlands
With the applications for the 31st TGO Challenge closing in just two weeks (so if the envelope is still behind the clock on the mantlepiece, best scuttle off to the post box now) I guess some four hundred people will be mulling over potential routes and looking for a bit of inspiration.Derek Goffin and Ellie Taylor's route for the 2009 event was certainly not one for the faint hearted or inexperienced. They set themselves a huge target; to maintain the highest possible average height for a Challenge crossing.
Derek has written up the adventure, and with detailed maps and a gear list, so this really is a treasure trove of good up to date information for anyone considering a Challenge "Haute Route" for 2010.

Great account.
Is there an easy way to work out the average height of a route?
