Rock climbing, Miroir d'argentine, Switzerland

Chloe, Benoit and myself decided to climb the beautiful Miroir d'argentine, a 400m long track. Everything was prefect excpect the fog which was playing with us and the rain which started when we reached the summit. Things could be worst ... you could tell me. Indeed, since we got to the top around 6pm ... the fog, the rain, and then the night slow down our descent to the village. We ll keep good memories of this climbing and life experience :)

Alpinism, Chamonix, Goulotte chere

My friend Benoit and myself decided to enjoy the nice weather climbing up to the Mont Blanc. After a 3 hours night, we drove to Chamonix in order to take the first cabine to the Aiguille du midi. From there we walked a bit up and down to find the wanted place. It's a nice spot called "Goulotte chere" perfect to do ice climbing. That track is quoted difficult and for a first time it was quite challenging but the condition were awesome and we relayed each other to lead the different section.
