Climbing the Munros, Corbetts, Donalds and Grahams is by no means a race. However, it is a personal goal of mine to climb them all at some stage.

If I don’t think I’ll get a view from the top then I generally don’t leave the house - what's the point in standing at the cairn saying "another hill ticked" when the rain is dripping down your neck and all you can see is the cairn and your feet? I know this is the complete opposite of how many walkers view their hillclimbing pursuits, and I agree that it's good to get a fair mix of weather for experience, but...where's the fun?

Considering the percentage of good days versus bad in the Scottish outdoors, I don’t think I’m doing too badly. The graphs (see links on the left) give an indication of my progress to-date. I'm not climbing "just for ticks", but I've always been fascinated by statistics, and have maintained these stats since my first ascent.
