Skis off, wing on! A different way of enjoying verticality and the colour pink.

A wondrous interseasonal hike. Frosty trees, and frosty noses too!

A long long day of slabs, cracks and Swiss choss with Max to elegantly bag one of the easternmost 4000ers of the Alps!

Spot the climber đź§—! Photo taken by a friendly Chilean guide from a neighbouring route. Our route, le Bon Filon, followed a quartz vein 300m up this south face. Le Bon Filon, literally the Good Vein, but figuratively the Gold Mine.

Hanging out, literally. A great pastime, especially when end-of-season fatigue starts tagging along with you everywhere you go. Photo by @ericcourcier #hangingout #chilling #alpinism #alpinisme #chamonix #granite #serac #glacier #guidelife #sun

From Down Under to Up Above, Australian Alex sails across the Papillons Ridge, a difficult classic of spotted green-orange-grey granite with a number of tricky pitches with slabby and vertical moves that feel well physical with alpinism boots (vs climbing shoes), a tactical choice of footwear to make the foot crack-jamming bits less strenuous. Hats off to Alex for ticking this one (number 52 on Rébuffat's legendary list of "Les 100 plus belles courses") and confirming that he's back in strong climbing shape for a longer traverse! #downunder #sydney #chamonix #alpinism #alpinisme #climbing #insead #pubbrawl #papillons
