Bailed out from Petit Fourche
Short morning trip before descent to Champex.
Strong winds made aus skip the Petit Fourche and return same way (West arete).
Lots of people, obviously most teams opted for this short itinerary due to the bad forecast.

Acc Trip
From Albert Premier Hut with Mr Mortimer - nice trip
in September 2003 after the heat wave . From the Albert Premier, upto the Col du Tour and then along the ridge to the summit. Descended by the normal route crossing massive crevasses on dripping wet soft snow bridges....wonderful!

North Face
Climbed the North face. Horrible conditions, a layer of slush snow on glasshard ice.
Route Climbed: North Face. Date Climbed: July, 2004
Our first north face. Excllent (and a rather short) ciimb if only the weather permits. We (Boris & I) didn't get a single break throughout the entire week. However, those icy faces are exactly what i'm looking for in the mountains.
Perfect for the first North Face you climb on your own. Rather short (and that's an understatement), easy (if the rimaye isn't too wide ...) but very satisfying in combination with a traverse to Petite Fourche.

Route Climbed: North face Date Climbed: 05 Jul 2002We ( Tim and I) climbed the north face after we finished the "couloir the table" of the Aiguilles du tour.
Nice climbing , had to make stand in the middle, at the rocks with ice screws due to icy conditions. Nice !
