A fact from Aiguille de Bionnassay appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 8 December 2015 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that in 1865, the first alpine climbers to reach the summit of the Aiguille de Bionnassay(pictured) arrived in a thunderstorm, their ice axes humming with electrical activity?

To avoid future disagreement based on different secondary sources, it should be noted that the first date of the Bionnassay ascent was 28th July, not 25th July 1865, despite some key secondary sources and mountain guidebooks such as Dumler and Burkhardt's The High Mountains of the Alps (1994) stating the 25th. Grove's published account of the ascent in the Alpine Journal, page 322 clearly states they made plans on the 27th, setting out the following day. Parkywiki (talk) 15:03, 10 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
