Rosie, Iain, Katie and I headed through the Mont Blanc tunnel today to Courmayeur. We took the lift to Punta Helbronner and had a great day first on the Aiguille De Toule from the Col Orient De Toule and secondly on the traverse of Le Petit Flambeau (this begins near La Vierge). The snow arete of Le Petit Flambeau is currently very icy and ice screws are worth carrying to ensure safety on this section.
