Another gorgeous day up on the Aiguille du Midi. The snow was excellent - its the first time John has skied the arete. |
 |
Heading round to the first pitch. |
 |
Nine turns and its time to put the skins on for another pitch. |
 |
If you look closely at the track it looks like I'd been drinking or something. |
 |
Back on the ridge looking down at Chamonix and I could see my favourite skyline in the shadows on the valley. The left hand shadow peak is the Aiguille du Midi, followed by the Plan, Blaitiere and the Charmoz. |
 |
And another pitch done. That little sluff above John built up quite a bit and chased him out of there. |
 |
You can see the wind starting to build up over the Tacul on our skin back home. |
 |
And here it was howling. |
 |
LJ climbs the arete, the town below now in sunlight |
 |
Back in town looking up at the wind that has built up on the tops. |
