Col de la Buche

April 9th: Col de la Buche

Spent 2 days trying to fix the van! And it is now working. hooray! At least we got out for this cheeky morning tour over the Col de la Buche. Pleasant day, only 3.5 hours and the skiing was a mix between soft snow, hard pack and spots of rubble. Still, managed to spend the rest of the day catching up on jobs.

The route goes from the Plan d'Aiguille (midi mid station) and traverses the moraine until you cross the Nantillons Glacier. From here you go up the descent route of Aiguille l'M. You ski from the Col to the mer de Glace. We descended ladders (the approach to the Envers du Plan refuge)
The ski descent is actually quite steep, about 45 degrees+.
