Large east couloir Mont Maudit

Mikko has a projekt on Mont Maudit this was the firstpart of it. We headed to the Fourche Bivac almost where the start of the kuffner ridge is. We started 1:30 in the night but the wind was so hard on morning so the snow never get soft. We had to ski really hard snow but it was a good experience.

In the morning rappel down from the Bivac

Couloir Barbey Aiguille de Argentiere.

We started from Chamonix with car to Grand Montets with the idea of traverse the Aiguille de Argentiere and ski Barbey couloir. 6h later we was back in Chamonix another good exercise day.

We climbed up the Milleu Glacier.

It was hard in the top but good training.
