There’s snow up high but it’s thin low down in #Chamonix. Cue the mega dump that’s starting Friday and not stopping until Monday. That will do nicely !!
Don’t delay if you want to book a space!

Great to hear that they’ve found the body of Sandy Irvine on Everest. Unfortunately I doubt it will provide any more clues as to whether they reached the summit.
A nice article on Explorers Web about climbing Mont Blanc. I was asked to contribute to the article to try and give a balanced view of what it’s really like: explorersweb.com/mont-blanc-…
Lots of posts this morning saying that the FN have won the French elections and that Le Pen has won the Presidential election:
1. There hasn’t been a Presidential election. Macron is still President.
2. The elections aren’t over yet. Let’s see what happens in the 2nd round.

Avalanches in the UK are not uncommon, especially in the Scottish Highlands, but rarely do they result in a loss of life. The most devastating, in terms of deaths, occurred in 1836, when eight people lost their lives. This terrible tragedy didn’t happen in Scotland. (1/6)
