End of trip


After a slow descent yesterday we drowe to Courmayor. Road to the mountain closed due to avalanche danger. This morning it rained and this weather will continue for 3 more days. Mont Blanc will be impossible in this weather. Daniel and I parted some minutes ago, I will relax instead. Like the ducks on the trolley in one of Milano's streams.

Long trek


Picture from ascent to camp at 4000 m on Sunday. Monday we ascended to 4460 m before the whiteout conditions forced us down. We are now at 3000 m and plan to return to the valley today.
