Skied from the hut. Perfect timing as snow was just softening on descent. Still pretty steep and committing though.

On skis. Quick ascent from GM. Would have been better skiing if we waited for the sun to warm the slopes.

Conditions good but little acclimatisation; left Tommy at 3700m and went to the top with Mike. Awesome, but was wasted afterwards.

Glacier dry. Crevasse minefield. Reached bergschrund, and decided snow in no fit state to be climbed. Retreated. Heard a huge avalanche that froze us in terror, but may have happened on Chardonnet glacier, as nothing came down. Heard today that there's now a river running down the thing.

This was supposed to be the easy training climb before doing Mont Blanc a few days later. Got to within ~150 meters of sumit then ran out of time. Slipped on the way down the steep bit above the Bergschrund. We eventually stopped a few meters above the bergschrund with Simon's face dripping with blood - luckily nothing too serious though! We then got caught in 2 thunderstorms and a rock fall on the way back down to Argentiere village from the hut.
