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.
