L'Aiguille du Pouce South Face

Tuesday 4th August

The South Face of the Pouce

A couple on the 'Cafe Pouce' striking 6B line up the centre

Indecent exposure

Voie des Dalles (TD- 400 m.)

A bit optimistic for the first proper warm up day but we decided to go for it from the first Flegere lift. Access was a 1.5 hour pull up scree then down choss to the face. Routefinding started not so well but we got there after a little while. Great, sound slab and delicate climbing on holds facing the wrong way most of the time.

Index Chairlift 8.15am - Bottom of Route 10am - Summit 3.45pm - Index Chairlift 5.20pm (phew)

Really fantastic massive action packed day out!

Cool traverse

More alpine posing!

p.s. climbing felt quite tough in parts!
