Hey,

Probably due to reading the thread on hiking to Everest Base Camp, but I started looking into possible holidays [climbing related of course!] for the summer of 2010. With the plan of setting aside 2/3 weeks, either at the start or most probably at the end of the summer holidays. I've thought of a few ideas:

-Ice climbing in Norway [conditions seem better in June/July]
-Back to the French Alps [but not Chamonix again]
-Some kind of climbing 'eurotrip' dunno where though
-Actually going to do a big trip to Everest base camp but with more climbing involved! [Rather ambitious ]
-El Chorro [heard good reviews of the place]

Does anybody else have some better ideas? This is all assuming that:
a) I have the free time b) I can afford it & c) I can find somebody to go with me.

Im not having summer holidays this year... After exams im having a 10 year holiday, i may shag in them at some point.

Instead of Austrailia, try New Zeland! Both places have climbing.
But the Kiwis have more extreme sports

Don't know why you guys are going so far to ice shag, there are perfectly good chalk cliffs on the south coast which have been done with crampons and ice axes!!!!

I want to go to peru sooo many big mountains there!

Would not recommend El Chorro (or anywhere South Europe) for summer climbing, it will be too hot. I was in El Chorro in October this year and it was 30 - 40 deg C. Great place for Easter / Christmas trip though, before it warms up too much.

I haven't been but was under the impression ice climbing in Norway would be a winter trip...?

What about the Yosemities? Then Alek can finally sell those Anasazi South Wests that hes been trying to get rid for the last 2 years.

If you go there in summer though it's rock climbing but you can shag at midnight in the sun, that would be really cool!
