In March 2020 - just before the COVID-19 UK lockdown - Es Tresidder and I took advantage of good weather and snow conditions to attempt a ski mountaineering challenge which we've long dreamt of, namely the Ramsay Round. This 92km running route has never been done on skis, and the current winter record (running) sits at 22hrs 23mins (Jim Mann, 2017).

I interview Es about our experience - logistics, kit, strategy, and the actual attempt.

Correction: Es’s first attempt at a Skimo Ramsay Round was 2009, not 2008.
