Pointes Lachenal – A l’oree du bois
We went back to climb another route there ; A l’oree du bois. There are some nice pitches but the route is a bit confusing as it crosses 3 other routes.
Aiguille du Midi – La Contamine
Anna and I climbed another great route in Aiguille du Midi: La Contamine, 8 pitches, all nice! We finished right on time for a quick lunch on the sunny top of the Aiguille. View over Grandes Jorasses, Rochefort and Dent du Geant from Aiguille du Midi (© A. Gatta)

Trail around Rochers des Fiz and Pointe d’Anterne
With a weather forecast too bad to go in the mountain, we changed our plan to run around Rochers des Fiz and Pointe d’Anterne. This 30 km Trail is definitively a must do!
Evening trail to La Jonction
La Jonction is a very scenic place where Bossons and Taconnaz glaciers met. The view over Chamonix valley and Mont Blanc is amazing.
1ere Pointe des Nantillons : Guy-Anne, l’insolite
What a nice route! There are so many great routes to climb in L’Envers des Aiguilles so it is hard to choose.
