• Steep and chandelier-ice near the top of the pitch

  • The Valielle valley, there are dozens of ice routes left and right! :razz:

  • Buried in powder on descent back to Lillaz

  • Laetitia starting the spectacular free hanging abseil back down next to the enormous icicles of the main pitch

  • Laetitia on the third (or was it fourth) pitch of six!

  • The first pitch of Lillaz Cascade

Two more days, Two more mega ice routes

Valentine’s Day
I got some super tasty and creamy chocolate from my Valentine… :yum: :yum:

Then we went ice climbing; Lillaz Cascade is a wonderful long route just five minutes walk from the centre of Lillaz where we are staying. Multi pitch ice climbing doesn’t get more convenient than this…

Today we went back up the Valielle valley to do Candelabro del Coyote. The first 60m rope-stretching pitch was amazing…
