Today we were back on the Mont Blanc massif. We planned another short day because of the
weather forecast. It never did rain, but
it was very cloudy and windy all day. It
felt like near winter conditions. This
time we did the Traverse of the Pointes La Chenal (II, AD, 4a). This was a short (4.5 hrs including approach) climb and was a very good introduction to Walter on glacier travel as well as technical climbing in crampons. Tomorrow it is supposed to rain, again, so we are planning on running up to the Plan des l’Aiguilles, a 1500 m elevation gain! Hopefully the rain will hold out for yet another day.
