I must admit to feeling a little tired as this was the 7th day in a row (wimp! But at least true to the ethos …). We visited Cervieres today because it was a nice place to ski and also climb but equally it was a 50 minute drive so we could have a rest in the car! It was all ‘ski de fond’ but it still somehow involved 240m of ascent. The track skis were a little tricky and the sac full of climbing gear didn’t help the balance. Anyhow we made it to the crag and back (of course) and a good time was had by all. Rach and Stu fly back to morrow so looking forward to the rest/drive to Geneva :
Coooollllllll

Any photos of where you’re staying, or are you living out of the car? All these icefalls look the same to the uninitiated!
Heathen!
Oui, c’est vrai! I reckon I could get a Mitsubishi L200 up some of the crags!
I hope your french is improving. Repeat after me “Je n’aime pas la neige et glace; je prefere regarder la tele et beaucoup du pizza avec de la biere!
Keep those ice axes sharp!
Cheers.
Oui bien sur. Mais je pense tu as utilise le Google Translate? C’est vrai??
How dare you! I do have a very interesting french phrase book from 1866, printed in Philadelphia. There are some phrases in it relating to the technology of the day, See if you can translate:
Aller querir le soufflet et ne soufflet pas si fort.
Laissez la chandelle, je l’eteindrai moi-meme.
Ayez la bonte de me preter votre canif, je veux tailler une plume pour ecrire une lettre.
Aaah, the good old days!
P.S If this is posted 3 times that’s due to an Apple hang-up.
Post more photos please – where are the easy bits????
