A few things to report this week last weekend Kate and Alex traversed the Dome de Miage in perfect conditions then climbed the superb Diretta del Banano at Machaby. I was climbing with Ian and Steve the forecast for the seek started with a perfect day so we were on the first Midi to climb the Peigne, this is always a rush to climb lift to lift but we managed it with a bit of time to spare. Monday said definite afternoon storm so we traversed the Crochu arriving back at the lift just as the weather crapped out. Tuesday was torrential rain all day so we hid inside. Wednesday we planned to traverse the Entreve but the wind was to strong so had a great day climbing at Machaby in the sun. Thursday was less windy so we traversed the Entreve in perfect conditions. Yesterday was raining in Chamonix so headed through the tunnel looking for better weather, unfortunately we didn't find it so after lots of coffee drinking we found some dry rock on a small crag near la Thuile.
We have now had snow down to 2300m in Chamonix which is great for the conditions long term but will make things a bit difficult for the next few days.
