Martin, Ivor and I are currently in Ailefroide. This brilliant valley is located in Les Ecrins and gives access to hundreds of rock climbs and mountains up to 4102 metres.

As well as climbing a good number of single pitch routes, we have also had a great couple of days climbing Sueurs des Boucs (350m, D+) and Chaud Biz (180m, D).
