tickets from £37 on the ebookers website atm

have been in summer so would love to do a bit of winter stuff there.

In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com: It's a weird season this winter here in the Ecrins. There is some good ice around but it is patchy and you need to know where it is. For instance mountain routes like Fantomas are really fat, and low-lying areas such as Crevoux are in good shape, but classics such as Hiroshima have not formed at all. If anyone wants updates on Ecrins Ice, especially the Fournel, Freissinieres, and Fournel valley areas, drop me a mail at jerry@alpbase.com
Happy hooking!
