The Priory is now taking reservations by text

The Guardian reports that two British climbers were rescued from a Swiss mountain after three days in a blizzard, by texting a friend in London.

Rachel Kelsey and Jeremy Colenso were winched to safety by a helicopter rescue crew after two nights of sub-zero temperatures, by which time their texting digits must have been in danger of falling off.
