A change of scene today. With a pre-dawn start from Evolene to beat the Chamonix crowds we made it onto an early Aiguille du Midi lift and had a great day on an all but deserted Cosmiques Arete, in perfect conditions. A brilliant route!
We saw one other team - a Chamonix guide and client who clearly had a train/plane to catch, or maybe he'd left the bath taps running, anyway they were in a great hurry.
