At work – Clive

Once a week I will be putting up a picture of someone on station at work.

This is Clive from Ireland he is a field assistant he is holding the flag to fend off Skuas who are nesting at the moment and will mob you causing bad injuries if you arent careful. A field assistant is attached to a science project some might be deep field for up to 90 days. They are experienced mountaineers especially in glacier travel and keep the breakers alive! A beaker is a scientist.

Clive Roberts, is a seasoned guide and mountaineering instructor with a contagious passion for the mountains. Clive has guided all over Europe and Nepal and and speaks French, German, and Nepali. In his free time, he enjoys canoeing, woodworking, and playing the banjo.

    Ash,
    This is very cool. Can’t think of a greater adventure. I love nature, so some of these scenes are magnificent. Can’t believe you are doing all this.

    Talked to the old man, and Daniel to see if everyone was behaving for the New Year. Left Tahoe in 15 degrees and tons of snow. Ready to move there when the mrs. acts like a sea leopard or Skuas. We have them here.

    Best wishes for the New Year. Very exciting.
