Ice Climbing Cogne - Cascade de Lillaz
They have finally cleared the road to Cogne, the avalanche debris is really impressive with huge trees sticking out, there didn't seem to be much damage to buildings but street lamps were bent and lights broken in Lillaz. Theres was a bit of team of us headed for cacade de lillaz with kate wanting to try some leading. She did a great job leading the 2nd pitch placing screws then the steeper grade 4 3rd pitch where we had left her a few screws for security. The last main pitch had a lot of water running down the centre but the ice on the left was good and fat kate made short work of this. Check out the conditions on the video.
