Descending to Arolla

My group of 8 folk from all corners of the world including Germany, Ireland, USA, Kuwait, Belgium & Taiwan coping well with another 10 hour day in the mountains.

The final steep bit on Col de Reidmatten 

Mont Collon

A wonderful, atmospheric early morning with excellent sunshine later. The Col Reidmatten is the classic, highest and purist col on this day. Why on earth most groups take the man-made, ugly ladders on the inferior col next door at Col de Chevre is beyond me. Anyway, keeps the best col quiet :)


Top day.
