Good to see #goback highlighting the deadly Alpine border crossings that migrants are forced to make in awful conditions with no equipment. This aspect is very underreported. Climbers and locals were tried for solidarity acts. A short piece from 2020 for UKC: www.ukclimbing.com/news/2020/10...

Just been spectacularly chocolate-shamed by a cashier: "Did you already finish the bag you bought yesterday?!" Me: "...yes!" [It was the day before yesterday but nm]. Cashier: "So that's why you're buying three more bags now?!" Me: "umm...yes!"

Natalie's superb piece on the tragedies of Britain's foremost climbing family is our current @thefence.bsky.social cover story. It's one of the finest we've ever published. A brilliant writer and a delight to work with, couldn't rate her more highly. www.the-fence.com/in-the-shado...

Very sad to read that David Hayles - scagliola plaster expert, author, stage IV cancer survivor and world traveller - died unexpectedly during his Alaska to Argentina cycle tour. He was sat next to us on a Galápagos-Quito flight in November. He led a fascinating life. youtu.be/bnZEem46cQk?...
