Easily the most exciting part of the whole adventure was this wire bridge. In particular taking one of your hands off to move the cows-tail from one section of protection wire to the next.

Ian is too busy to write up our little adventure in Passy, just down the valley from Chamonix, so I thought I would post a few photos to remember a fun day out. We’d rendezvoused with Anna and Ian, who’d come from their place in Les Contamines, to take a peek at the via ferrata in Passy. All four of us had cameras I think, so there was almost as much time spent posing for photos as there was climbing the route. However, it does mean I have hundreds of pictures to choose from, here are some of the better ones…
