SCOTTISH CONDITIONS ON MONTE DE LA SAXE

One of the more clear moments today

Summit celebrations on the Tete de Trenche

Eidelweiss still hanging on

The best and only view of the Grandes Jorassss

Visibility down to 10 metres today

Probably the finest day on the TMB is over the wonderful Monte de La Saxe ridge from Courmayeur. One of the very few occasions today that I have done this traverse in clag. Ws saw hardly any view. From just below the Refugio Bertone we were in thick clag for the rest of the day. Such a shame but a great walk anyway. The group were round in under 8 hours to the Bonatti Refugio. It felt like a Scottish hill day, cool and cloudy.
