The climbs worth talking about.
Not everything will be here, but these are the outings that I want to remember!
1/3 of "Arête des lèves-tard"
La Selle · Ecrins Range
As part of the last day of my first mountaineering course, we did a very unique outing, I was genuinely so scared the day before but was surprisingly calm and concentrated during the climb. thanks to our guide's teachings we were able to go on our own without him (obviously still looking at us from far away). Loved this very much.
Glacier Hike on Glacier de la Selle
Glacier de la Selle · Ecrins Range
A glacier hike I did during my first mountaineering course, we lerned a lot throughout this day thanks to our guide and it was so beautiful. It was so nice to use crampons, ice axe and learn rope stuff for glacier walks.
Balcony over the Lac des Vaches
Vanoise · Vanoise Range
This hike was pretty fun, we struggled our way through the slushy snow that normally wouldn't have been a problem but oh well... We had an amazing view over La Grande Casse and the Ecrins massif to the other side.
Plateau d'Emparis
La Grave · Ecrins Range
Nice little hike towards the "Plateau d'Emparis" in the Grave region. We started from Le Chazelet and headed up, thanks to the strong winds the snow was hard and it was very nice and easy to walk on. Sometimes the hard snow was a bit dangerous as we could slide down a lot but everything was fine.
Sunrise hike above Chamrousse
Chamrousse · Belledonne Range
Nice hike I did at the beginning of the year in Chamrousse to witness a beautiful sunrise and go eat inside a little "cave".
Hike towards the bottom of "Pic du Mas de la Grave"
La Grave · Ecrins Range
This was just a very simple walk in freezing conditions to witness the first snows! We walked from "Le Chazelet" to the bottom of the "Pic du Mas de la Grave" which I plan to summit one day in winter!
Croix de Belledonne
Belledonne · Belledonne Range
This hike was honestly very challenging for us as we never did something with so much elevation gain at the time but we managed to finish and go back home so yeah! We started at a parking spot early in the morning and got to the summit at around 1 or 2 PM and we got back to the car at night! Damn I was really slow and weak this hike but I'm glad I did it!
Col de l'Aupet
Col de l'Aupet · Vercors Range
A nice little hike towards the "Col de l'Aupet", where we could see the majestic Mont Aiguille standing very tall right in front of us. This Mountain is very intimidating lol i mean it's literally in the name "mount needle"!
