Beautiful morning 

The walk down from the col

Pigne de Arolla & Mont Blanc de Chiellon 

Our last day up in The wilderness.  A gorgeous day, hot again. The toughest, and steepest col on the Haute Route has to be the Col de Reidmatten. It's not long but it is comprised of very loose rock and some care needed to negotiate the rocks. Before reaching the final pull there is some magnificent scenery as you Pass the big mountains of Pigne de Arolla and Mont Blanc de Chiellon . We saw hardly anyone today. Leaving at 7am to beat the thunderstorm late this afternoon .
