All that separated us from the pub at La Foully was a 1500 m 10 minute meadow skip down the glacier right? Beautiful spring snow on the normal route until Col Ferret. After some steep sugar turns, things mellowed out to 45 degrees and we rode the couloir in 2 or 3 pitches on a combination of creamy spring snow and chalky powder. Beer time.

He is a very nice guide with a very good knowledge about security. There was one more hit before the run came to an end, over Mont Dolent. The first climb gets the sun early and I’ve been cooked on this climb before.

A refaire chaque année!

The next day we could have easily kept hoovering lift access powder off the Midi but I just want to ski in the mountains by this stage of the season so we decided to get some solitude and tour 800 m up to the Col du Capucin. This time he really challenged me and that\'s also what i was looking for. With our nerves jangling I took a look at a picture of the face to find our exit and we mange to link some ramps out right and get off the face without taking our skis off. You need to be very fit to be able to tackle this ascent (>2000m).
Wat zouden we zijn zonder. ‘Service’ as they say in Switzerland.When the first incoming rock exploded on that rib on the left I nearly shat myselfThis is John McCune’s Poopy Pants traverse – see his topo below. Talk directly with an Explore Share assistant.Yann was a fantastic guide for the last 3 days in Verbier. Enrico Mosetti was also visiting from the Julian Alps and I had the pleasure of showing him around the mountains for the week. Our teenage children enjoyed the experience very much. We were skiing on sight without any knowledge of conditions over there. ... Ik lag nog in de bocht, de ski's iets verder. Check out the Attracted by the mountains since childhood, I started with climbing and alpinism. I was pretty relieved to reach the col and some sound spikes where I chilled out and took in the view down the Argentiere basin.A quick traverse to the rimaye under the North Face and we were able to put our skis on and descend the exposed Gallet ridge. On the ridge the wind continued to howl and we hid behind the rocks, relaxing and laughing while waiting for the snow to soften up. We had great powder and great fun and felt very safe thanks to the experience of our guide Yann. In the end 2.5 would have been ideal but 2 worked. Courmayeur highway exit. Its always a pleasure to travel under the North Wall of the Argentiere Glacier and study the big ski lines and dream about the few hours they might be in condition in April or May. At the col I was pretty sure the abseil anchor was on the left and we set about digging down to find it. Getting my backpack (with skis) off and balancing it on my thighs to secure the ropes was probably the hardest manoeuvre I’ve been faced with in the hills. 1997 was the last time I did this ridge and it was a real pleasure to do it again surrounded my magnificent scenery in all directions.

Posts about Mont Dolent written by rosshewittguiding. Down at the alpages we swapped ski boots for flip flops and strolled down through some of Italy’s prime real estate to Lou’s cafe and tunnel pizza. I could see small upset children running to arms of their parents who had concerned looked. As the spring skiing in the A Neuve Basin had been so good, I decided to do another route there, this time just with Enrico. It was the first time I went there this year and an emotional moment to be there on the col. With Andy Nelson we climbed the Charlet and descended the Gallet ridge – I’ll post that next! Then Enrico hit a trigger point and a metre deep wet slab ripped out – he did so well to point it out and ride clear – we were still above a large cliff at this point. The snow turned to shit lower down the mellow glacier,  having not frozen the night before It was collapsing under the tails of our skis or sucking at them at different rates.

It is 4.30am on 8 May 2016. With no traffic this year the 50 degree couloir had filled in to an extent that I’ve never seen. For Enrico’s last day I had a long day in mind – a North-South traverse of Les Courtes. » Le 17.06.2019 Mont Dolent, Voie normale » Le 31.05.2019 Mont Dolent, Voie normale » Le 23.05.2017 Mont Dolent, Voie normale » Le 23.04.2017 Mont Dolent, Voie normale » Le 22.04.2017 Mont Dolent… Loads of nice turns in the powder in a breathtaking landscape. We found some strange things. The route weighs in at circa 2500m of up, 4000 m of down, a lot of time in the dry air above 3000 m and getting microwaved from the inside out on South facing glaciers in the super hot sun. That definitely ranked in my top 5 big mountain ski descents for snow quality. Now clear of the rockfall we were able to relax a bit and it was Andy’s turn to wade up steep faceted mank to the headwall. Ski touring in Mont Dolent in the spring is just wonderful. Safety is always first and from there we strive for our limits. I’d never skied Passage D’Argentiere so that was the obvious choice with only 1000 m of skinning and the main difficulty being negotiating the large cliff at the base on sight. OOOOOOWWWWWW!!!! He is very communicative and friendly.J\'ai la chance de skier chaque année avec Steph depuis qu\'il est guide. Nice long sleep despite the 4:30 alarm. ), et qui de plus est très sympa. Vraiment sympas et très pros, on se sent en sécurité en toutes situations. Lots of tricky skinning in the dark up the glacier, gorgeous sunrise and a long ridge leading to the summit.
