Danny and I are currently in the Alps climbing together. The weather is very changeable at the moment and lots of studying of weather forecasts is required.
On Monday we travelled to Les Ecrins before walking to the Refuge de la Pilatte. The weather on Tuesday morning was not perfect but we persevered towards Mont Gioberney. We were rewarded with clearing skies on reaching the Col du Gioberney and amazing views from the summit (3352m).
Today we visited the Mer de Glace above Chamonix and spent time ice climbing and practising crevasse rescue skills.
Currently there is large volumes of snow remaining from the winter in the Alps making routes more time consuming.
