Hi paul, we had left verdon and headed to the Ecrin, based around Guillestre. The weather has been a bit odd with daily thunderstorms, hail, but otherwise roasting in the mid 30s. It was too hot on south facing walls (like Tete duval), and the north facing walls still had a couple of metres of snow at the base (ailefroide). Too much snow high on high rock routes into he Queyras. Managed a few easier multis by getting in early and going like the blazes so we were back on the ground by 2pm. Will be coming back some September for Autumn conditions I reckon.
We are now in UK for a week. |
