I was climbing with Mark Dearnley this week we started the week climbing at the Cremerie to see how an injured achilles was behaving, luckily all was well with mark leading a coupe of pitches, the most exciting part of the day was getting up the road which required chains to get any where. We headed through the Mont Blanc tunnel on Tuesday to the Cascade Roveneu which we had failed on a couple of years before so it was really nice to clear up some unfinished buisness. We were back in Italy the next day climbing a route near Cogne which crosses an avalanche tunnel then gives another couple of great pitches higher up. All the better for the short walk in. On Thursday we headed through to Zinal to climb the Cascade du Pont, 15m up I placed my axe which gave a huge crack, moving my tool the ice did the same again, after the worlds fastest V thread we were heading for the bar. We finished the week in Arolla climbing the Cascade de l'Usine Electrique, after a spot of luch we climbed an unnamed pillar next to one of the road tunnels.
