Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Hopefully the above link works. It is a photo of my dad after WW2 and I reckon it was taken in the Austrian Alps somewhere near Innsbruck. I know that he went there with some friends to go climbing. Does anyone know where this was taken???? A long shot I know but my dad's been gone 8 years and we discovered it last week when clearing out my mum's stuff after she passed away 10 days ago. Thanks in advance

Lovely photo to find even if you never track down the location. Proper old school climbers, hawser ropes tied round the waist.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I can’t locate it myself, but have you posted on any climbing forums? If you don’t have any luck here, try ukclimbing.com, or an Austrian climbing forum. There are also Facebook groups – “Klettern in und um Innsbruck” is fairly active. Also you may want to rotate it.

Yes, what a glorious photo to have found.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.
