Fine day in Chamonix

Friday, July 4, 2008

After the poor weather welcome yesterday, Chamonix is now gleaming, for the time being at least. The high tops look very snowy and routes such as the Walker Spur are not in good shape. High couloirs and snowy ridges might be worth a look if the overnight temperature falls and allow consolidation of the snowpack.

Today I was up in the Aiguille Rouge at around 2,800 metres, just losing a few calories and helping the acclimatisation process.
