Since Peter has been good enough to post some photos on this new thread, I thought I wouldn't create a new one but would add to it by putting up a few of the ones we had from our walk near New Years.
Do check out his other web site - as it chronicles his walk end to end.

Our walk was over 3 and half hard days - We went as far as Pegasus and then came back .
We had great weather for all but the last day, which provided a terrific experience of gales and driving rain on the exposed top of Hesperus and almost as bad for a lot of the Moraine A descent.

Nice photos "eggs", Atmosphere! I think January is a good time to visit the range - the weather is often changeable - and so creates more interesting conditions for photos, and a bonus - the sun rises along the spine of the range!
