Indian Summer

The weather is just stunning! The colours are just breathtaking!
Not a soul around!
This is the perfect time to play in the mountains...

Chut! Don't tell anyone, this is the a new secret spot!

Not Mont- Blanc-ing this week!

It has been a very frustrating week for people who had planned and -or attempted to climb Mont-Blanc.

The blue sky in the background does not reflect how windy it is up high. These guys had to retreat from the Goûter hut.

This morning Ed motivated the team to get a guide for an extra day, just for the fun of trying some pure rock climbing lines.

You are a natural Mr. Bond!






On their first outing, I decided to get them all leading! James felt in total control!












Mike and Sam had some rock climbing experience.

They realised that it is not easy to learn to trust another belayer.








Good effort Sam!

Something for everyone

We took the first lift up for our mountain morning trip.













Impressive, dramatic North face ambiance. Wearing a t-shirt makes it look like a surreal photo!









Afternooon with the family team.
Annabelle, looking very graceful and stylish.














Robert, showing some crucial moves to Danna, ex-rock climbing champion.
