Last Chamonix Shots

[peter]

I managed a final nine days in Chamonix, before returning to Canada last week.

The weather sucked; that is, it was sunny, in the low to mid-30s, and most snow and ice routes were melted out.

In any case, a nice picture is still a nice picture. See:

So, when do CNS Ice Days start ?

Looks like good bouldering there did you get any sweet sends?

[peter]

The boulders kept falling on me, but I did manage a few V0s, as they went by. Maybe I will do better in Halifax.

Dont even get me started on Nova Scotia ice...

[peter]

Ya, sounds like the July ice in Chamonix was better than the January ice in Nova Scotia. Next year ... road trips.

Yeah, you got that about right Peter. Ice season was three days long last winter, and I don’t think those days were even consecutive. Our winters can’t all be like that though. We should be about due for a good one, shouldn’t we? We had a good ice season four years ago.

Or, Air Canada has a seat-sale on now: $500 return from Toronto or Montreal to Paris, $550 from Quebec City. Good until December 7. A sale like that next spring, and I am gone again ... Or again, Gaspe, Saguenay, White Mountains NH ... There is lots to do in winter if it sucks here again.

Hi Peter,

I hope you don't mind, but I noticed your panorama at the bottom of the page (cool photos by the way!) and thought I'd put it together for you. I do a lot of panoramic photography so it took me 5 minutes, and thought you might like the results:

Looks like an amazing trip, I hope to travel there sometime myself,
