chablais summits

Laura and I made an 18km loop with 1400D+ over multiple cols and summits. Pointe de la Gay (1801m) was our highest of the day's stops while racing between Col des Follys, Col de la Lanche, Col de la Balme, and a final peak at Rochers de la Mottaz before completing the circuit- a nice tour of Chablais. 

It was warm, but luckily there were plenty of fountains.

Our last climb up to Rochers de la Mottaz- very different on a sunny day compared to our skimo fog adventure last winter. From there, it was all down hill, but I needed a short rest in the grass to survive the finish.

via ferrata lunch

I am already missing the ski season and looking for ways to limit my running. For lunch, we made a quick trip to Fort l'Ecluse for via ferrata. We had a fun ascent, but when everyone went down and back to work, I couldn't resist staying in the mountains for a run.

I played an exciting game of trail or no trail for a while, but eventually had covered the traverse and descended to Saint Jean deGonville and the final push home.
