For my final few days in the zone I let out for the hills with Justin Sweeny intent on getting up a summi or two. The weather was marginal and as we made our way to the Envers hut it was a miracle we found the way
Justin at the routefinding crux of the approach
L' Envers des Aiguilles is an incredible secteur if you like big pointy rocks
The views are ok too
Spot the climber on the Tour Rouge!
We attacked the Aiguille de La République at 3am and by 9:30 were 2/3rds of the way up
The higher we got, the more snow covered the rocks
This made our feet cold...
Positions = Mega!
But the weather went southbound
We managed a few more brisk pitches
And go back the way you came...
Back in town it was properly festive, one guy I met at Elevation 1904 described it as the best corner on Earth. I thought about it for a second, scanning my rolodex of fun places and then nodded in agreeance.
Thank you Chamonix!
A la prochaine!
