Second day out on the Haute Route and a tougher day but spectacular.  The Fenetre Arppette is a high col with steep approach and descent. The trail is roughly than most others, Scottish rocky type path with a few boulders thrown in. There was more cloud around today but it made it quite spectacular. Lots of Marmotts on the Arppette side of the mountain.  The team did well, 8 hours up and down including marmott and ibex spotting.
