No - Monte Rosa was not kind to us this year either. Yesterday we were idling in the tent hoping for better weather. This did not happen. Tonight there was another big snow dump (+30cm for a total of 50cm fresh _wet_ snow in less than 48 hrs). Add to that some battering 25m/s wind gusts and get the picture. We descended the ridge with some spin drifts at 1 m before finally in safety (but wet as dogs!) Daniel and I have now parted, me planning if some small thing is still possible. In need of new partner (planning picture included)!
