Aiguille du midi, Burnier Vogler, D, 250 m

On the 24.th of April, Sune, Anders and I climbed the great Burnier Vogler on the Midi. We abseiled the route from the false summit of the Cosmique Ridge, 5-6 abseils most with bolted anchors. The difficulties is mostly on the two first pitches, we simulclimbed after the 3. pitch.

At the first abseil point.

Tour Ronde North face, D, 350m

On the 21.st of April, Anders and I climbed the north face on Tour Ronde, the route was not in the best of conditions with black ice for around 7 pitches. A very nice route, with a long descent as we were camped on the Midi plateau. Picture is Anders in front of the face.
