The Heart of the Rond Skyline Ridge (red). We think that this is a first descent. It is a variation of the more frequented Heart of the Rond (blue) also known as the 'Salopar' in French meaning 'bitch'.
|
 |
The Heart of the Rond drops down in front of us here. We
took the red dotted line that someone had left out for us to follow instead.
|
 |
We had to wander along the snowy ridge behind
|
 |
Step around the awkward rock section.
|
 |
And wander along the snowy ridge a bit further till we could
put our skis on.
|
 |
The snow was perfect.
|
 |
Dave sets off finding a way through the rocks.
|
 |
There was a tiny hint of sun crust in the top layer of snow
but it wasn't stopping Tim enjoying himself.
|
 |
Dave running some slough in the steeper lower section.
|
 |
Tim's walkman kicks into MC Hammer and he is forced to do
a spot of break dancing.
|
 |
Tim cruising above the rocks to a sweet line over skiers left.
|
 |
And now running some fairly deep powder.
|
 |
I managed to film the hike along the ridge earlier but during putting my skis on managed to forget to plug the headcam battery pack back in!
|
 |
Trying to abseil off a snow bollard. It ripped through.
|
 |
Dave went for the straightline here rather than an abseil.
The snow in here was bullet proof and it didn't look much fun on the knees.
Tim and I downclimbed.
