Mont Dolent Attempt- Pure Rock


The rock climbing was nice, but the forecast is pretty bleak for the next few days.

Hence I had a look at what I've been up to these past few days. A bit of rock climbing and a try on the Mt.Dolent among other things.

It looks like the weather will be quite unsettled for the next 4 days at least. The south side of the Alps will see better weather. Snow will fall from 2500 meters here in the north. July, so hot and dry, left us with a cool and wet August. This has coated the alpine ridges with up to a meter of new snow in places. As a result, the classic lines over the Valaisanne Alps are out of shape.
