It was cloudy in the valley today so we decided to venture in to Switzerland to try out Bravo Lapp - a route recommended to us by Henri Bouillet, a great friend of Smiler.
Amazing "summer" weather in Chamonix today - a bit unexpected really, the forecast had suggested a chance of a shower and a föhn wind...
...no, that isn't a way to describe ice with lots of holes in it! It's the ice we climbed today in Switzerland...
Not much of an adventure, but it was very exciting...
Terry's postcard arrived a few days ago (sorry for the delay in posting, I've been to Norwich with work this week) - the card is sporting the now traditional contemplative Kats...
Well, I guess it could be anywhere but its part of my exploration of the Swiss play-crags...
Richard and I went to Lenzerheider in Switzerland to run the R'adys Mountain Marathon. It was the normal format, two day mountain marathon carrying everything for camping overnight...
Yes this slab (sorry, wall, Terry) was "Grande" and great fun too. Although I think we got off route a bit at one point finding ourselves in the middle of very blank slab some way above the last protection...
We finally found some ice!
