In the last few weeks we have been furiously preparing everything for what is set to be a very busy summer season, and today our May newsletter is being e-mailed out. This month there are kit reviews on climbing trousers, course previews of the Tour du Mont Blanc, Alpine Intro, North Face Alpine Classics and the Haute Route trek from Chamonix to Zermatt, and all the latest updates on conditions in the Alps. There is also a focus on UK Alpine Preparation weekends and training. If you can’t wait for the newsletter, read it online at; http://www.icicle-mountaineering.ltd.uk/newsletter/newsletter.html
