In reply to minty1984:
Thanks for your replies! Thought I should add some more info for other readers.
http://montagnedepassion.com/topo-2/topo-cascade-de-glace has a good google maps layer for pointing out potential ice lines in the area.
We have been climbing in Tignes Breviers today on some good ice up towards the dam. Lots of potential for other lines as the season progresses. Double bolt lower offs and some bolted dry tooling lines too. Eyed up the approach to a good pillar in the opposite direction from the dam. Follow the right side of the river after the small lac till the path fords the river. Obvious pillar of ice just up from there. Yet to be done.
Minty if you wana hook up for some off piste and touring drop me an email. Or if I could tag along with you at the wall sometimes let me know when you plan to be there.
I'm keen to meet other people to get in the back country with. Got good back country gear and practicing with transceiver lots. Been to a Henry's Avalanche talk and esf transceiver training. Have good mountain sense through climbing. Not the greatest skier hence doing a season here in the first place so keen to learn. Also anyone else reading this in the area keen to hook up for ice climbing and ski touring get in touch!
