Tour de France 2010

Le Tour du France Station des Rousses to Morzine-Avoriaz. 189 km in total.

Haute Pursuit and 15 happy clients visited Morzine in the Portes du Soleil for étape 8 of le tour. An early start from Chamonix at 7am ensured a good spot on the final hill climb from Morzine to Avoriaz a 13.6 km to 6.1 %: category 1 in blistering hot heat. The winner of the day was Schleck with a few riders coming off their bikes earlier on and a quick visit to see Lance at his hotel afterwards before catching Spain win the world cup final back in glorious Chamonix.

Epic Alpine Rock

With some stable weather and dry rock, its been a perfect time to get out and climb long rock routes in the mountains. Thanks to Davide de Masi for the great pics and company on the Cordier Piller of the Grand Charmoz.

A few days later I climbed the Walker spur which was quite dry (good rock climbing conditions) but subject to some serious rockfall. Our camera broke but here is a pic of the north face of the Grand Jorasse, the Walker being the prominent spur on the left. The scale of the face is huge, rising from 3000m altitude to 4200 at the summit.
