I have not taken any picture with mobile since last update but it has been far from boring. Since I do not know how to update the blog without sending a new picture - have another hotel room pic! ;-) The trip to Courmayeur went fine - met Joseph and Daniel on Saturday and made camp by a river when we lost sight of the path in the dark. Next day we reached the Gonella hut at 3050 m after a long scree on the Miage glacier and a 500 m (altitude) advanced scrambling. This climb was not for the faint hearted... Pitched tent at 20.00 on a small platform we carved out with the ice axes and had a sleepless Sunday night. No summit attempt as we were tired, we had heard the glacier was badly crevassed and most important - a storm will arrive on Tuesday. Today we downclimbed and I am now in back in town. Will try to upload pictures from my camera tomorrow.
