We took the girls up to the Aiguille d'Midi and climbed the
Pointe La Chenal again. We were a little
worried about taking Kristen on a technical ice climb so our only two options
for a single day trip were Chenal or Cosmiques.
The girls did great all day. When we got to the last hike up off the glacier Kristen started to bonk, hard. I
couldn’t see her, but Walter was in the lead, then Kristen, then Bucky. Bucky kept saying we needed to wait. I
thought we were too close to the top to wait, but Bucky was adamant. Apparently in front of him Kristen was
crawling on all fours at times and asking Walter to take a break, while Walter
was literally dragging her up the mountain. Some guys were walking down to spend the night at the Cosmiques hut and apparently were laughing and calling Walter a torturer. Kristen was a certainly a trooper. If she had any hard feelings towards Walter she didn't show them.
We finished the day off by going back to Les Gaillands with nice weather. We all got to take a try on the 6a overhang. I managed to climb it easily this time, while Walter and Ainsley had to take a few tries at it before they eventually succeeded. Kristen was a little too "wanked out" to give it a go.
