'Final Ascent' is an excellent film. One highlight was the archive footage of Hamish McInnes being interviewed Mary Marquis in the 1970s. My son, who was watching with me, said: "the interviewers were more intelligent then".

The director of Final Ascent: The Legend of Hamish MacInnes, Robbie Fraser, says the film is as much about memory, identity and the way in which we treat older people, as it is about climbing. (excerpt from a preview by fellow climber David Pratt last year) heraldscotland.com/news/17376945.…

Ian Fraser Final Ascent: The Legend of Hamish MacInnes Fantastic film and so glad he recovered from his more recent ordeal. What a magnificent collection of untapped archive footage we have in this genre. BTW I believe "Call-Out" is available on Kindle, might be easier than tracking down a paper copy.

We are so sad to learn of the passing of Hamish MacInnes of Glencoe, at midnight last night. May his spirit always watch over the lost climbers of the Glen.

Folks, many of my followers like walking and the outdoors, if you can spare even a quid to help a badly injured volunteer it would be wonderful, thanks Raise money for The Lake District Search and Mountain Rescue Association donate online #JustGiving justgiving.com/campaign/Chris…

Heartbreaking news. Chris Lewis put his life on the line and paid a heavy price in order to save others from a situation they should never have been in. Don't just think about your own safety on the hills. Think about the men and women who might have to help you.
