Happy Mountaineers!
That summit might look close, but the ground was extremely loose leading to slow progress. In reality it would have taken 90mins return.
Pelvoux
On the rock section. Only V-Diff, but @ 3500M with some suspect looking blocks
Back on Lower slopes. No photos for the 2-hour snow-plod above due to hail/rain and occasional falling rocks!
Final photo of the day, expressions tell a story. Slept well that night!
