Right. Are you ready? Are you for a rant? Alright, here it's comes!
Gloves. Bloody expensive, ill fitting, useless pecies of clothen! Do you we need them? In winter? AYE! AYE WE DAE!! but can I really remortgage ma hoose tae pay for a pair, oh wait two because skiing and climbing gloves are totally different! And yes I know people might read and think, 'dude just get this gloves you can feel sooo much through them'. That's true, but not if yer circulation is as shite as mine.
So I did it. I went against every fiber of ma scint climber bones, and handed over the green (well it was a credit card). I bought a pair of Black Diamond Guides and, yes bloody expensive and, a pair of Black Diamond Specialist.
I have always spent the very little on gloves, why, cause I didn't have the money (not even plastic form), and I knew, all be it from what climbers told me from the beginning, that they will fall apart in a season or two. Now watch this space. Cause if ma hand get cold....I mean white, god dam that's going tae turn black and drop off cold. Your going tae hear aboot it, and if I drop ma in tire rack this season cause they're clumsily biffa gloves that wont cut it either.
Apart from that the climbing in the gorms are still oot, but the skiing is definatley in!
Stay safe.
