Mountain Rescue at breaking point? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
I remember SAIS stopped reporting in the end of January for a period because there was no snow left in the entire country…… No surprise to hear it was the leanest season. There were still avalanche-related mountain-rescue incidents. We still need to watch out always.

Tributes paid to mountain rescue 'legend' David Whalley. Seems fitting to share this via Twitter where he frequently commented on many people’s adventures. RIP Heavy. bbc.com/news/articles/…
Looking forward to this weather and this view 🥰
Well played by @SAS 😂

Oh joy, the sun is finally out on Rockall Island! Solar panel output at a whopping 49%, and the batteries are soaking up all that precious power. Only 47 hours left until...well, who knows what'll happen next.

On Friday a small airplane crashed on Mer de Glace accumulation area (Géant Glacier) in the Gros Rognon sector (~3500 m). Two people were slightly injured. Two days later it became a freestyle spot! 🙃🤩🏂 Let's hope it doesn't stay there 🚮 🎥 Gaspard Ravanel / IG
