15 january 06 les Houches
Last week was one of those rather interesting weeks.
The snow was good, old creamy powder in the trees and north facing slopes, almost transformed on the south. The best snow was lying below 3000m, higher up it had been blown by strong winds. Meanwhile the weather was nearly perfect, cold and crisp every morning.
Great streaks of ice had appeared in some places, while the long cold spell had prevented the usual cascades forming elsewhere. We climbed two of the best long easy ice routes in the region, skied off piste at le Tour, climbed up to the Breche du Berarde for a wonderful descent to le Buet in knee deep powder, and finished up the week with a traverse from the Aigille du Midi to Helbronner on skis to dine in Italy before descending the Vallee Blanche under moonlight.
There were three of us, Mark, Jim and myself. Jim, a sometime design design student who is a now, well.... a kind of chicken farmer; see wwww.omlet.co.uk and prepare to be pleasantly surprised. Mark is a London based medic, planning to finish up in oncology. By one of those wierd coincidences which make the world seem so very small, Mark had climbed with Wim (see Vinson)on the Petite Verte.
The VB was a bit more delicate than normal, with big open crevasses in the region of the Requin. We had been joined for the descent by the usual suspects; one each from Argentina, Sweden, Spain, USA, and England. Sharing a celebratory beer in the crowded Chambre Neuf, James demonstrated his magic tricks. These are a collection of ludicrous mimes with a distinct nod in the direction of Tommy Cooper. The Anglo-Scottish audience was creased up with laughter, the Americans and continentals looked on blankly. Eventually someone said “English humour” as a way of explaining the strange exhibition. All in all, a good week.
