In reply to Dave Searle:

Super useful info, thanks Dave. I had a quick peek up at the Pelerins while driving through the valley yesterday and thought Carrington-Rouse definitely looked doable, and Beyond was certainly getting there.

Surprised there aren't more reports from the GJ. A young Finnish guy called Juho apparently went up to do the Croz Spur but sacked it off as it was too dry. I think they then went over to Zermatt and did the Schmid instead? He posts on here sometimes so maybe he can offer some info.

In reply to alexm198:

Yeah, we did the Schmidt instead. GJ looked quite dry week ago. Lower face in okey nick, but upper part seems to be horribly dry. We tried "Late to Say I'm Sorry" - it was in. Sadly my partner's axe fell on the crux and we had to rappel down. Also Droites N face is covered with neve. Some Brits did the Ginat. Beyond is coming slowly...
