OK weather now in Chamonix


Richard and I have had some bad weather and the other day we retreated off an ice cimb on the traingle of Mont Blanc du Tacul as it was thawing and the weather was wind was very strong. All parties turned back from their attempts on Mont Blanc once they reached the shoulder of the Tacul and once we got down to the valley we spoke to other teams who also had to retreat from thawing ice climbs... Still, its all experience enhansing and good fun... we will just have to try again.
Today it started misty in Chamonix but this evening its clear skies but a bit colder after last nights storms. Winds seem stong at altitude.
