Traverse with Gouter interlude  Sucess!

Royal traverse, so up S arete from Durier. Bailed out to Gouter hut due to upcoming strong winds and continued next day to the Midi 'ferique.
Rock "bastion" was all dry and good snow track on the ridge to col Bionassay.
The often described first chimney to the right of the S ridge is prone to rockfall, so just start directly at the beginning of the S ridge.
Two belays with bolts and chain on top of the Bastion and ~50m below.

South Ridge and Traverse  Sucess!

Started from the Durier refuge after traversing the Dome des Miages the day before. Very poor freeze overnight but we managed to kick steps to the rock section. Fun climbing on the rock and then completed the traverse to the Dome du Gouter before descending to the tram. A great 3 days in the mountains.

Durier to gouter and descent  Sucess!

We walked to the durier hut from la crusaz parking and climbed the south ridge to the summit the next morning. The traverse to the dome de gouter took quite some time because of fresh snow verywhere in the route. After a bite of gipfelwurst on the dome de gouter we descended to nid d'aigle and just got on the 18.40 train back down.
