Hello everyone,
A friend and I were lucky enough to score a descent of the
Tour Ronde's magnificent north face in pretty much perfect conditions a few days ago. We had at least a foot of fresh snow on a grippy base for the most part, after climbing up the Gervasutti with either decent neve or a firm crust. All in all, a spectacular day out. I have a couple of pictures and a short music video here for you, set to a pretty rocking cover of the Small Faces' Itchycoo Park, by Blue Murder.
There's also a few hundred sentences about the day at my "web log", which can be found at
