The last month has many of the classic big lines come into condition with heavy May snowfalls. There aren't many places (probably nowhere else) in the world where you can one minute be sipping a cafe au lait, and the next minute be dropping into a 50-55 face of snow, ice and rock. Thats freedom.Vive le Chamonix freeride. Below is a brief selection of some springtime skiing, and some exquisite alpine granite.
Unplanned bivi at 4000m. Chilly but with a nice view. Entrance is by my feet.
On the way up.
On the way down.
Pow on the Midi north face.
Granite as good as it gets.
