Chamonix
The resplendantMont Blanc Range
Arrived back in the Alps at the end of first week of June to start a summer’s guiding work. Like last year I’ve been privileged to work a couple of weeks for the Jonathan Conville Trust courses based in the Chamonix valley (http://www.jcmt.org.uk/) Great 3 day intro courses to simple alpine skills …. basics of glacial travel, ridge craft and alpine top tips… we were blessed with mostly nice weather and made trips to the Mer du Glace, Col du Midi, Aid Rouges ad a few laps up a long rock scramble/climb called Via Corda.
Mt Blanc du Tacul
It’s been great to see lots of the course participants over the following days making use of their course input and making some good climbs in the mountains….beaming faces, smiles and sunburn!
