Lizards, Snakes Hot Rock and Cold Mountains
Saturday, August 25, 2007
Climbing today with Chris Ensoll before starting an intro alpine course in Saas Grund. One Lizard landed on my shoulder, before dropping another five metres to a lower ledge. It shook it self off and started back up the pitch towards me. I went flying past it five minutes later off the crux of a 6a+ route on Pisschevere a few kilometres west of Martigny above the autobahn. No harm done to Lizard or myself, fortunately. On the descent we came across some sort of snake. I'm not great on snakes, so couldn't identify it! 
The high tops look pretty snowy and cold just now.
View towards Mt Blanc
View towards the Argentiere Basin.
View towards the Aiguille du Midi
Strong winds blowing off the ridge above the Vallot Hut.
