Grand Beau Temps and Garden Gnomes

Thursday, 24 July 2008

Climbing at Arnad A wonderful location just an hours drive through the Mont Blanc Tunnel. Plenty of multi-pitch climbs at a variety of grades from Very Severe (UIAA 5B) upwards.

The cliff has a brand new wire ladder and steps, which is not complete at present, due to a major rockfall on the lower sections. Some abseiling required on that section.

At the foot of the crag you can buy the guidebook and a variety of climbing gear in the shop, which is situated next to the coffee shop, bar and restaurant.

Happy summit for Chris Ensoll, Jerry and Mike.

Chamonix Weather

A really good, cloudless start to the day and it appears set to continue for a few days.

Yesterday, climbing at Arnad in the Aosta valley. Beneath the crux pitch of Lo Dzerby. The Gnome and Jerry!
