The classic super scenic Cosmiques ridge

Things to do when conditions for skiing ain’t perfect
II, AD-, 4a (3c), E2

Enough said about this ridge on the internet. Just one statement: Very possible that we made it in best imaginable conditions. So much snow and good track, there was only one or two rock climbing sections. These are my pictures:

At the start of the ridge

We evaded the first two rappels: Maybe the that days crux: A steep snowy traverse

“Walking” simultaniously

Loads of snow

A group behind us

Another party infront of us

At the belay of the rock crux

They came not for us but the party behind. Chamonix.

Last belay after the final rock section
