Last night we met up with the rest of our group and had a training day today with our guides - and some good skiing. we skied down the Rogons glacier from Grands Montets, practiced climbing up steep slopes with crampons, using our avalanche tranceivers (finding eah other's) and skinning up a steep slope for a short while.
All set for a serious day's climbing tomorrow.

Handy tips..
ReplyDeleteHandy tips - tonight is the night that you should be making last minute preparations such as sewing elastic onto your mitts and feeding it in a timely way through your anorak sleeves - sorry, realise that they probably aren't called anoraks any longer - and shaving your shins to avoid friction rub on your boots - but of course you are real men, so you probably wouldn't do that.....Hope you don't get dusty u there.Ciao for now - JudithXX
