Memorials on a mountain you’re about to climb is never a good sign! Funnily enough I’m currently listening to a BBC Sounds podcast about mountaineers coming a cropper on K2 - seems this week’s theme is living vicariously through other people’s risk-taking.

Ooh what podcast is that? Sounds like my sort of thing! But yeah, not what you want to see before you set off!

It’s called “Peak Danger” - I feel breathless just listening to it!

Congrats for surviving the ascent. I bet many people wish Cameron had broken his neck.

Often the joy of summiting a mountain is short-lived but at least those views were top notch!
