double up


Today I had more time in the mountains. Val and I met for an early ascent, happy to break through the low clouds and into the sunshine.  


After our quick hike, I headed back up for a longer loop, and found myself on a different trail. It didn't open exactly where I expected, but I scrambled up a grassy slope to the ridge and met a familiar route across the top to le Reculet.


I had the chance to trudge through the remaining snow and sludge along the ridge while listening to a man practicing his Alp horn from the summit. It must be interesting to carry one of those up!
