Dents du Midi

Overnight trip to Refugee Dent's du Midi was in the card's. 1300m of vertical climbing, sunny day and lots of fun.
the climb was not particularly hard and we had some energy left for cutting and chopping wood. Eventually we did manage to get enough for food and warmth. Quite wet firewook, so we needed some magic to light the stove up.

This shot was taken just outside of the refugee early in the morning


We had a big block of cheese, some dried meat and soup for our fine dining experience. Oh and we did haul two bottles of local up up there as well. Needless to say, they where emptied pretty fast.
Sleep came early and morning was not too bad in terms of coldness. As soon as the sun came up, we where warmed up.

Fun trip, I'm hoping to do few more in the next two weeks. Read More...
