An interesting day! and wow! I was pretty wiped out after yesterday! Good times.

So, with the Foehn wind coming over and the temperatures going through the roof (+2) in Chamonix, we decided to go ice climbing.... it turned out all well!

We headed down to the Rive Gauche to check out what was there. Anyway, we found the EMHM cascade.

I think this is graded about 4+ but Plum (who pulled it out the bag today with some top climbing) the direct line was more about WI 5.

I had the recurring frozen fingers so bailed on the top pitch but hey. good times. Need new gloves!
