We phoned the plumber this morning. I think French plumbers go to the same school as British plumbers. They could no longer come today, how about tomorrow?!?
Another sunny day, another adventure from our new guidebook. Voie Frison-Roche on the Brevent East Face is described as THE classic of the Aiguilles Rouge, so of course, it just had to be done...
We have a new guidebook - the new Michel Piola The Aiguilles Rouge (English version) - so we looked for something reasonably short for our first day in Chamonix...
Finally we managed to meet up with our friends from Zurich for a nice and easy mountaineering route up the Grassen in the Berner Oberland region...

Last weekend Mina and I drove to the Northern Vosgese climbing spots about an hour from our place in Karlsruhe...
