EX NORTHERN REMEC ALPS 22
DAY 5&6: A hop over the border and hike up through the stunning Aosta Valley put us in sight of Gran Paradiso (4061m) 🇮🇹
A 0400 step-off saw all rope teams summit the highest mountain (entirely) in Italy by 0930.
Everyone slept quite well that night 👌

DAY 3: Rope teams up early for a crossing of the heavily crevassed Glacier du Tour up to the granite summit of Tête Blanche (3421m) 🇫🇷🇨🇭
AMF teams got great time on the ice as the experienced teams fancied a few peaks on the way back.

With the loosening of restrictions and the impending lure of summer, it's time to start thinking about your racks. So here's a good article from @psychovertical to help you.

Phase one of the restrictions being lifted from @climb_scotland, @ScottishMR and @MtnTraining.

We held the REMEC AGM over Skype rather than in person. Technicalities aside it was great to talk about adventurous mountaineering even if we can’t get away. Stay safe! @ Home https://t.co/6ji06iKvkO

Due to the current #COVID19 situation, Ex #REMEC2020 has now been postponed until Summer 21. This is a great opportunity to conduct more training and develop those involved to become instructors. @JohnHRidge @Commander8X @39ComdOffr @Proud_Sappers @JSMTC_HQ
