Haute Pursuit Alpinism
Despite a general lack of ice in the mountains, Tom Grant from Haute Pursuit and Hamish Dunn, left the Midi at 7am on the morning of the 20th for an attempt on Super Couloir, a classic mixed and ice line on the east face of the Tacul. After an arduous approach of snow swimming, they climbed the first 2 pitches of the direct start which is in unusually good condition. After another couple pitches of thin ice, the pair descended the Valle Blanche in the dark.
