The word 'extreme' is so often added to the most mundane of pastimes to make them seem more dangerous or exciting than they really are.
Mountaineering has never needed any such label, because it is really is dangerous, exciting and physically hard.
Condolences to the families of John Taylor, Steve Barber and Roger Payne; killed in an avalanche on Mr Maudit near Chamonix yesterday.
At least they died pursuing a dream, rather than sitting in front of a computer screen or a giant TV.
