Umbilical Hernia And Bowel

Between Le Tour and Chardonnet (Stories in the Alps, part 2).

A Junk early start thanks to our "partners" room of the shelter resulted in some of us a light sleep until the alarm clock to wake up and start with the daily task alpina. Next stop: Aiguille du Le Tour.

With more or less bleary eyes set off towards the needle that gives its name to the glacier where we were. A walk through the glacier to heat engines and make contact with the environment until after an hour or so we approach the base of the needle, when he played to decide which way up.

clouding the moment they arrive, so I played session and decide what to do, whether up or down. Luckily for us, the fog was transient and later all become clear. Bad weather caused some of us decide to opt for the normal way up unlike the bravest who penetrated the corridors thinking that they would find a good, surprised to see that the ice was scarce and even some areas nonexistent.

A popular climbing vine than put us on top of the spire of Le Tour can enjoy tremendous views all around, contemplating the grandeur of the Alps. And so some earlier and some later we stand at the top making the typical family photo.

A fun and pretty warm fall put an end to the adventurous journey. Then, get your strength back and think about the next target.

And the next target we stood up again even sooner than the day before, crossing the glacier in the light of the front to see the Aiguille du Chardonnet with the first rays, which were not those of the sun, but those of the approaching storm to our point. Rays, clouds and the immense wind forced us to meet again on foot from base the Chardonnet to say to do.

The rope formed by Koka, Fran, Juan and Javier was the one that shot up to find the needle in store for them a few meters above, even though he could get off a at any moment because of some clouds that approached them. And they were not exactly, but the wind was blowing in the corridor which forced them to turn around near the end of the road. With cold hands and set up a rappel down.

The rest of the team went to do some activity and take advantage of the day, following footprints of some clueless Madrid than willing to go to Le Tour were in the opposite direction Chardonnet Glacier. Few laughs, a little guidance and every man his way. We went to an exposed edge sometimes forced us to have to crawl to avoid blowing ourselves with the wind, which blew most of the time with enough intensity and speed.

Seeing that the weather we headed back again to the shelter to keep us safe from the storm. However, the rope that attempt ended up running the Chardonnet and wet.

... and that's how we caught the train in search of the next season because the predictions made us leave to head to Le Tour Les Ecrins.
