Storm to Ecrins
The canyon season ending for me and the harvest has not started, the Swiss friend and I are seeing you for a nice trip to the land of the Jewel cases. United itineraries great extents to variable rock. The program is ready after a few calls to colleagues. The first objective: NNE ridge of three teeth Pelvoux. Second objective: south pillar boxes. Last goal edges of heather in Cerces.
After a short stop in the Grasserie the corner, we reach the car park at the foot of military firn in early afternoon. Grand beautiful, the weather looks lenient. The rise of 2000m approx. takes place at a relaxed pace where we repeat the world and tell miles and some bullshit. We are preparing to bivouac at the foot of the goal. The night will be adorned with a few gusts to 120km / h and drops of rain: it was said mild weather! In short, we slept there. Back in the valley and climbs the slabs ailefroides swallowed quickly, we’ll sleep in the pre Madame Carle. Tomorrow it will unfold. The race is quickly swallowed and we will sleep over Serre Chevalier for a final morning awakening.
Sunrise 5am, return 10h, in short, without these ridges run off without clutter on a beautiful pebble. It’s already time for the friend to leave Switzerland to other world mixing hot date-language course ;-). Hope the friend to leave with you!
