In reply to Duncan Beard:
Hi Martin, I think we were in touch before going to Ailfroide last July. When I got there I found my phone just didn't work so I couldn't contact you. Sorry about that. We are hoping to go to La Berarde first two weeks of July this year.
We will do Pic Coolidge by the ordinary route, if weather co-operates.
Thanks for the guide book warning. I noted that the easiest rock route on the Tete de le Maye was put as AD grade 4 max but c-c gives it somethng like 6a for the first pitch.
