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 !!

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.
