Contamine Grisolle AD, 60, 350m




On the 10th of July, Pernille and I went up to the Col du midi, to climb the Contamine Grisolle and Mazeaud on the Tacul triangle.

Tacul triangle, a lot of great short training routes on this face. Easy acces and descent.
Quite a lot of snow at the time, digging out the pit for the tent .
We simulclimbed pretty much the whole thing, route was in really good conditions.
Topping out on the triangle ridge, after two hours of climbing.

The last bit to the top, great views. We downclimbed to gain the normal route on Tacul further down, spending as little time as possible under the seracs of the nw face.
Next day we made an attempt on the Mazeaud, but abseiled off, a 100m up the route after a couple of avalanches had swept the entry couloir.
