Lafaille Goulette - Mont Blanc du Tacul

23rd April : Lafaille Goulette D II/4 250m

Quick day hit on the difficulties of the Lafaille Gully. We abseiled from very near to the top of the difficulties. Weather didn't look good for the whole up and over today. Still, we did a very chilled out 250m or so of climbing then abseiled the route.

Plum taking the first pitch. A lot thinner than last years photos. Still, pleasant climbing.

Me approaching the top of the first( actual second) pitch

Getting thinner and more snowy towards the top
So we did about 4 pitches (1 was 2 linked) of climbing then hit this pitch. All the ice was rotten and falling out as Plum scratched his way up so we called it a day here.


In the centre of the photo, to the left of the Diable couloir is the Lafaille Goulette.
