Ross Hewitt and i went to climb Icelander in the Argentier Basin. Fresh snow on the ski down from the Grande Montets gave cause for concern as the slopes above the climbing are prime for avalanche...

We dumped climbing kit and donned ski gear...sometimes you have to go with the flow.

Meeting up with Bracey, Dicko and Kenton, a day to remember was on the cards. Two runs from the Grande Montets, The Pas de Chev, the James Bond track into Cham, up the Midi and a Gros Rognon run wasn't a bad 2ND place...it wasn't climbing but it'll do! 

More pics including the Nant Blanc face and the Dru in the photo section.
