I have another reader ...woo-hoo 8) :D :thumbup: Thanks!
The weather was positively wintry, just our luck! We plan to try again next year, maybe a little later into the summer.
I am visiting val d'Anniviers through you:) And you are taking nice pictures too.
As for moutaineering - it's seems to be such a pot shot. My friends wanted to do Mont-Blanc and decided it wasn't worth it for weather reasons - they actually booked a hut for two separate weekends and both times weather cancelled it. I've missed for work reasons and now I am glad I wasn't in it - it must be so frustrating. I am now debating with myself if I should book a week-long course in Chamonix just by myself and just go along with whatever happens. Maybe weather will stabilise now and we'll have a good spell:)
