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)

There’s a lot of snow forecast for the Western Alps next week so the avalanche risk will increase significantly. We still have a few spaces left on our final avalanche safety courses of the season. Don’t wait until it’s too late ! avalancheacademy.com/courses…

Great to ski some really nice snow with @AvalancheAcad but sad the lack of snow cover on an already retreating glacier #climatechange #skirando #skitouring #skiing #weareifmga

In 2001, Jules Cartwright & Rich Cross succeeded where 10 previous expeditions had failed by making the 1st ascent of Ama Dablam's NW Ridge. Is there a "Last Great Problem" you'd like to attempt? Then make sure to check if you qualify for MEF funding ➡️ ow.ly/FM4P50JjqTF
