Climbing in the alps - update
We arrived in Courmayeur on Sunday Aug 14th. On Monday, due to bad weather on Mont Blanc up high, we climbed an easy 8 pitch rock climb in Aosta. Tuesday weather had improved so we climbed the “Arête Des Cosmiques” an exposed rock and ice climb that runs up to the Auguille du midi. There are only a few hard parts, but they are made much more spicy due to the exposure with thousands of feet of free air beneath your crampons and boots. Looking down onto the glacier below the climbers look like small ants.
Tomorrow the plan is an early start to get up the “Guolotte Chere” an 8 pitch ice climb (Wi4)…
