Brevent ridges 🏔❄️🥾 with the ever present backdrop of Mont Blanc beyond. ~ #chamonix #brevent #montblanc #climbing #scrambling #adventure #mountains #mountainlife

Dark sky over the Matterhorn. It never gets any easier to hear of the loss of a friend in the mountains. Always unfair. Always the person you least thought it could happen to. The questions, the details, the flurry of contacts. Then the disbelief, numbness, and in the silence, a kaleidoscope of memories. I remember exactly where I was each time I got ‘that’ call. Grieving is a process that has many stages, but for now I will miss your ever smiling face, and the care with which you looked after people in the mountains. With your loss, you take a small piece of each of us. The mountains that nourish our soul, too often give us these devastating moments of introspection. Climb high, and watch over us from above. If we can achieve in our lifetime, what you achieved in yours, the world will be a far better place. #matterhorn #hörnligrat #RIP

Tour du Mont Blanc 🏔🥾❄️🇫🇷 Aiguillette des Posettes, with the inspirational backdrop of the Mont Blanc massif.
