Olivier and I took part in some téléphérique magic this past Saturday, summiting a 4000m peak between the hours of 9am and 3pm. The two of us have done a bunch of skiing and climbing together, but this was our first alpine excursion - as I anticipated things were fast, solid and fun, and I'm definitely looking forward to tackling more projects together.
Also I've been dropping the ball on the update but Texas-native and Bay Area-local Jono Sanders moved out here a month ago, and the two of us have been on some awesome trips to the Vercors and Ecrins during recent weekends. Check out his blog for some recaps of rock climbing and cultural adventures, not to mention a short film he put together from our trip to the Dibona.
In the meantime here are some photos from Chamonix this past weekend:

| Grand view from the summit: (right to left) Mont Maudit and the Kufner Arête (where Hillary were in summer '11), Mont Blanc, Mont Blanc du Courmayeur, Grand Pilier de l'Angle, and the Aiguilles Blanche et Noire de Peuterey (climbing that ridge from Italy is a bucket list objective!!). |
Also today is the day to wish Hillary a Happy Birthday! Tonight we're celebrating chez Jean Mi and Anne -- photos of gourmet cheeseburgers to follow...
