Le fil a` plomb Rognon plan

After have been thinking about climbing this route i find it more interesting to ski it. I looked at it spring 2014 but i was not ready to ski it. This day a year after i first spotted it as a skiline we could finally ski it and make a first descent so close to the lift. Great day out with my best ski friend Mikko.

Aiguille de Amone NF face

The day before we had climbed Grand lui from there we could see that Amone north face looked good, after some technical problem with the Grand montets lift we could finally set off.

Couloir Croulante Talefre Basin

After a early start from the Couvercle hut we went to Couloir Croulante in the talefre basin with the idea to ski it.It was a good day with exercise and acklimatisation for bigger objektiv.

Always so peaceful

First time Mikko using helmet

I love to do bootpacking

We had to wait 1h for the snow to soften.

Beautiful day.

Skiing a nice little ridge in the couloir.

Pain de Sucre North Face

Last day of the season for me and we wanted to ski something steep with not to long approach. The mythical wall of pain de sucre was the best option for this days adventure. What a day to end a season.

We skied the 2 first pitches of Grand envers to reach the south face of aiguille du plan. You can also climb the aiguille de plan ridge but this is a faster way.
