My, oh, my! I'd forgotten how much hard work alpine climbing was. Back in Mont
Saxonney nursing my bruises, sores and aching body but with a full belly of mountain happiness.

scoping the line we took on the 1000m north face of the
Aiguille Sans
Nom. Starting up the first half of Russian Roulette and then finishing up the upper ice pitches of the
Gabarrou-
Silvy.

Entering the upper

Nick pulling round the crux
squeezy-groove and ice bulge. Quite spicy with a big sack on.
Bivied close to the summit on the second night, Only 13 hours of descent to go.
