Yeah right!!!

DAY 5&6: A hop over the border and hike up through the stunning Aosta Valley put us in sight of Gran Paradiso (4061m) 🇮🇹
A 0400 step-off saw all rope teams summit the highest mountain (entirely) in Italy by 0930.
Everyone slept quite well that night 👌

DAY 3: Rope teams up early for a crossing of the heavily crevassed Glacier du Tour up to the granite summit of Tête Blanche (3421m) 🇫🇷🇨🇭
AMF teams got great time on the ice as the experienced teams fancied a few peaks on the way back.

Some members of #REMEC making a guest appearance in 63 Works Group video on the West Ridge of the Dent De Tsalion and the Fletchhorn summit ridge. So it gets our vote.
jive.defencegateway.mod.uk/g… vote for 63 Works Group via Defence Gateway if you have access. Some awesome videos..! (Ours is the best...!!)

With the loosening of restrictions and the impending lure of summer, it's time to start thinking about your racks. So here's a good article from @psychovertical to help you.

We held the REMEC AGM over Skype rather than in person. Technicalities aside it was great to talk about adventurous mountaineering even if we can’t get away. Stay safe! @ Home instagram.com/p/CAQxSkMBXFw/…

Due to the current #COVID19 situation, Ex #REMEC2020 has now been postponed until Summer 21. This is a great opportunity to conduct more training and develop those involved to become instructors. @JohnHRidge @Commander8X @39ComdOffr @Proud_Sappers @JSMTC_HQ
