In reply to Toby_W:
Oh what a wonderful week, in the Fournel the other day there were two cars and well over a hundred ice routes to do. We did Beating the Retreat IV/4+ 300m (one of the best ice routes ever) and then raced back to do Davidoff above the car park II/5. We also did Capitaine Courageux III/4 and found an ice screw half way up the last pitch with the hanger sheared cleanly off. Placed horizontally in solid ice. SCARY.
Home tomorrow, I'll try and put some photos up when I get back.
Cheers
Toby
