My friends Nick and Keith have arrived for a little climbing holiday. We had a little leg stretch this morning on the Tournier Spur on the Aig du Midi. It’s a bit of an old school outing winding around the crest from one side to another, climbing on every type of terrain and with a bit of abseiling too. Topped out by just after midday….not bad for a first outing in a small window of nice weather..

Nick loving the choss....

Topping out brought great views all around but not for long as the weather socked in….the boys stayed up there as late as poss to get some thin air in prep for the next trip……

Nice snow climbing and atmospheric glacier shapes...
