Epic Alpine knifeedge ridge 🏔❄️🇮🇹⛏🇫🇷 of the Aiguilles d’Entreves, along the Franco-Italian border. This is a popular choice on our summer Tech Alpine Classics week.

Windermere shop closed! 🏔⛔️🦠🤞 Last week we closed the shop doors until the end of May 2020 at earliest. We’re now working from home, and will reopen only when it’s safe. - At present we’re still optimistic about operating our summer Alpine season, so please get in contact if you’ve got any queries, and keep us busy. We can have meetings via Skype or phone, and are still here to help. - Never before has it been so obvious that this situation is so much about each and every one of us, and our actions in these times. Please stay away from the Lake District, if you don’t live here. It’s time to stay at home, look after yourself and loved ones, and in doing so to keep others safe. - Together, yet separately, we will all get through this, and we’ll see you on the other side. Stay safe folks! The Icicle Team - #SupportLocalBusiness #StaySafeStayHome #LocalCommunity - p.s. Luna the office dog isn’t trapped in there still. She’s self-isolating on my feet, as border collies are pretty rubbish at social distancing! _________________________________ #LakeDistrict #Windermere #CumbriaIsClosed #covid_19

Eiger North Face 🏔❄️⛏🇨🇭Three words that convey so much; fear, awe, history, dreams, shade, loose, bivouac, direct, rockfall, spider. We offer a traverse of the skylines via the Mittellegi and South Ridges... _______________________________________ #switzerland #swiss #suisse #grindelwald #monchsjoch #mittellegi #rockclimbing #mountains #mountainlife #climbing #climb #challenge #summer #summit #success #ifmga #mountainguide #swissalps #alps #alpine #instaswiss #instanature #mountaineering #iciclemountaineering #travelgram #wanderlust #pictureoftheday #instanature #eiger #inspirationalmountainadventureholidays
