Weather

Nice weather in the morning soon becoming cloudy.

Conditions

After the goulotte du Chien, we tried to continue on the goulotte du bloc coincé, but the huge quantities of snow and the lack in ice stopped us from reaching the summit, we stopped under the stucked rock.

The upper slopes of the goulotte du chien were like a swimming lesson... 2 small ice passages then deep snow. As for the goulotte du bloc coincé, the cave below where the belay stands was almost blocked by the snow. We thus took a lot of time to reach it and lost quite a lot of time. We eventually ended there.

Still a nice outing though.

Timing

Croix de Chamrousse: 9h15.
Back to Recoin: 16h15

Commentaires personnels

Nice gullies, sadly not a lot of ice.
