Written by -20C this morning leaving the house. Surprising number of range rovers or new land rovers broken down by the side of the road today – is the diesel freezing? I know my feet arent enjoying the cold much either. When’s someone going to make a Chamonix 130 dynafit compatible alpine boot with treads and a thick enough liner to provide at least warmth to -10C?
Sloths last day in Chamonix so with him being arboreal we headed for his native habitat in the woods and enjoyed 4 lowers, surprisingly finding fresh, coated with deep silky smooth surface hoar which provided aesthetic surface sloughs with each turn. Sloth suitably beasted, we headed home for lunch and last of the haggis and tatties. A quick cheerio to Sloth and I headed off to GM and blasted down the Chapeau couloir and returned to Brevent for a final blast down a warming west facing line under the gondola.
