  • Scaling the peak of the Barrhorn

    Scaling the peak of the Barrhorn

    This summer I climbed the highest mountain peak in Europe, reachable without mountaineering equipment eg no ropes, crampons, safety harnesses etc. Just an auld hike up the 3,610m Barrhorn in the always beautiful Swiss Alps. Read how I got on – and how you can make the journey yourself – in my piece for The Herald.
