Writing about the legacy of my father’s death in the Alps. Rep: @litagencygmc (Ex-MD @PRELOADED, #mcr born, Trustee @photofusionuk and #brockwelllido swimmer)
Another incredible rescue by the heroes at @airzermatt - am so pleased everyone made it down safely but ‘inadequately equipped with light shoes and light sweaters’ is quite damning… so many lives put at risk….
Asked Mum to bring my ice axe for upcoming #alps trip on her next trip to London. She couldn't find it so brought me choice of two ice axes (each 70 yrs + old) which would fit happily into current #dorothypilley#climbingdays exhib at @thealpineclub . @Dan_Zep might appreciate...
Stellar line up @thealpineclub last night to celebrate Dorothy Pulley’s legacy. Well done @Dan_Zep for a great event. Beautiful edition by @canongatebooks. And I loved the display of Pilley’s ice axes too…

@VertebratePub How long have you got?? Erm, Blencathra in the Lakes…so many approaches to it: Sharp Edge, Hall’s Ridge… climbed it in all the seasons over so many years.
Very happy to have found my way to #doublingback by @LindaJCracknell - ‘ten paths trodden in memory’. I have also spent a good part of the last two years doing exactly that… 1/2
@LindaJCracknell Great to hear about the new edition!!
Dad (Colin Taylor) was at Oxford and in the OUMC btw 1957-64 (and was President for some of that time) and stayed connected via OAC after that. Another thought: he joined the AC fairly early so might have coincided with your dad there?
Really enjoying #theeverestobsession on @BBCRadio4 - not just the famous names but lots of focus on the critical role of Sherpas on the mountain. Recommended.

That thing where you thought you were further along with your drafting than you actually are. And the only thing to do is to sit down and get back into it... Onwards.
