With only a few hours of play before having to leave Chamonix to fly back to the UK we took the popular option of grabbing a few routes at Les Gaillands. (Aside: Had we know there had been a fatal accident there on Friday though we might not have gone.)

It was so hot we only managed three routes before we fried! After that we retreated for a cold drink and lunch on the terrace. Where giant spiders have moved in… Chamonix may never recover from an attack by these monsters!

Nice hat 😆
I’ll get my coat…
That’s a bloody great big boulder on the ground behind silly!
But I take your point, I could have framed the picture better… …it was all I could do to not have heat stroke! :good:
I think you framed it perfectly
Oh my god! It looks like I’ve got a huge potato growing out of my head. Must be one from Anna’s super productive garden – definitely not one of my teeny weeny veggies.
Potato plus beach grade approach boots, what is going on ❓
Oh – I was going to comment on the hat, but I see it is not just me that had that thought.
