Hi, apologies for stopping activation early on HB/VS-028 yesterday. We had gone up the south ridge (SSW ridge) so were unsure of descent route (West ridge). Ascent took longer than expected because of snow high on ridge, altitude and my lack of fitness. It was cold on summit, cloud blew in from south and first flakes of snow fell. Safety of party meant I abandoned activation and started descent, which was uneventful. We even caught the final lift down. Apologies to those who were still calling. Will try to do better next time.
Sorry I missed you. Noticed your Spot about 15 mins after you had posted it and checking 14.285MHz nought! So I guess I must have just missed you, c’est la vie
And it sounds as if your a bit of ‘hairy’ activation - hi!
Don’t worry Colwyn!
Did you shot some pictures showing your setup on the summit?
BTW, try it next time as HB9/MM0YCJ/P
