Another trip up high for more acclimatisation, checking out routes and to test our new PHD Yukon smocks - very toasty on their own and way to hot in a sleeping bag for me!!!

Alps 2011 - Cosmic Arete
Improving weather meant a trip up high to the Aiguille Du Midi for some acclimatisation. Cosmic Arete was lovely and snowy with good ice in the chimney... Being very familiar with the route we thought we were going fast catching up and passing a few teams. Then two Chamonix Guide appeared behind us almost running with their clients... One turned out to be Christophe Profit and guess who won!!!
