Wow, so it has been a year since I started this blog! That went quite quickly... it has been an amazing year with great times had with great mates in and out of the mountains.
This year sees Jen and I heading back to Chamonix for the winter, really please to have some good mates there who are really up for getting out ski touring and climbing.
I am just getting mentally prepared for the action by watching steep and getting pretty excited about this coming season.
As its the time of year to fashion a christmas list together (which does just happen to consist of big wall climbing handbooks!), I have been spending a bit more time on a bit of a winter wish list around Chamonix. Like last year I will be keeping a blog on events and uploading a few photos of the adventures, please feel free to make comments and let me know how you are getting on with conditions around the Cham valley.
Some routes I am thinking about..... (excluding valley ice)
Climbing
Aiguille Verte - Nant Blanc Face, Y Couloir
Aiguille du Midi - Eugster Direct
Monch - NW Buttress, Lauper Route (N Face)
Supercouloir - Tacul
Migot Spur - Chardonnet
Cosmiques Icefall
Aiguille Blanche de Peuterey - N Face
Modica Noury etc - Tacul
Skiing
Breche Puiseux
Col du Passon (never got round to it last year!)
Cosmiques Couloir
Ski Mont Blanc
Aiguille Argentiere from the valley from an early start
Loads of repeats from last year.....
maybe need some more inspiration here (Mont Dolent Ski)
As usual this tends to change as I actually read what the route consists of!!!
See you in Chamonix :)
