@ExplorersWeb A ‘popular beginners ski route’? Hardly. Expect that from the likes of The Sun, but not you guys.

Rescuers saved one climber, but bad weather prematurely halted the search for his companion. By the time they reached him in the morning, he was deceased. explorersweb.com/one-climber-de…

Thank you @outdoorscots for your article in @TheScotsman Magazine this weekend. A great title and a brilliant read, that pulls out some of my favourite bits of the book @Off_Piste_Perf

An update on Mar'verick's movements, the white-tailed eagle who fledged from Mar Lodge in 2022. In 2024 he has spent most of his time in the northern Cairngorms but made periodic forays west as far as north-west Skye and north of Ullapool. Thanks to @RSPBScotland for the map.

Come along and join us at our 60th Anniversary Ceilidh. We’re looking forward to a great night. Details on poster. BYOB. Email event@amrt.org.uk to book tickets #ceilidh #dancing #support #anniversary #celebrate

Very happy that @pressjournal have featured Granite Girls - a women's climbing club some friends and I started last year in Aberdeen :) @Mountain_Scot @Team_BMC @UKClimbing @thealpineclub pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/lifestyle/h…

Now that’s what I call a bombproof anchor. @HMCoastguard putting in the training hours for all those crag snatches and pick ups. No climber wants to see these caped hero’s in a profession capacity but reassuring to know they are loitering in the background.

Maddening and frustrating, but probably due to ignorance (and laziness) rather than badness. Please spread the word if you know anyone thinking about using bothies: rubbish in toilets can - ultimately -close a toilet and endanger a bothy. facebook.com/photo.php?fbid…

I despair. The Ben Nevis summit shelter is, as the name suggests, a refuge for people who may require it in an emergency. Instead it’s been used as a dumping ground for selfish people who can’t be bothered to take their sh!t home.

Impressive skills.

@HeavyWhalley Climbing at Cummingston today - thought about you lots. Ludicrous antics at the harbour whilst bladdered and happy memories of SMC dinners xx

@anne3366 A fish box full of scientific things that had done into space! Trump that Butler.

What is the most random thing you have ever seen in the hills? Yesterday, in the deepest recesses of Glen Pean, about 50m west of Lochan Dubh, was a sign post. Completely blank but in good condition. I wonder what the point of it was/is?

Fact or fiction? Nonetheless, a very interesting read. michaelkobold.com/post/the-harve…
