EA Caf St Julien - Alpinism week-end




Departure on Saturday morning from the Tour for the ascent to the refuge. A small break in the shade benefits to all. The path rises quietly in the woods, then quickly progresses towards the moraine.





Having arrived at the refuge, we find Georges and Charles with a group of adults of the club. It is a great opportunity to share a moment and to meet!
 But that's not everything, we also want to revise the evolution with crampons on the rocks and how to progress roped up... Then we depart for the slopes above the refuge! There is no need to go far. For Ori and Léo, it is the first time they put on  crampons! Louis and Nicolas help them out to put them on ant to remove them before leaving the scene in a small snowball fight.



We eat comfortably in the refuge and prepare the bags for the next day after which we go to sleep because we get up early!
On Sunday morning: very beautiful sight! We are not the only parties for the Aiguille du Tour, the track is already done! By sunrise, the summits are illuminated by the sun and when we cross the Superior pass, the view is awesome! We make a short break before continuing till the beginning of the ascent



We took off for the summit! A little before the ascent we meet JL with a young person of the EA Léman. Nice exchange!


We climb with crampons! Louis leads his party carefully and with precision.

There are a lot of people, the weather is beautiful and it is a classic route for initiation so it's necessary to wait a little before we all get to the summit!







The descent is the ideal opportunity for our new encadrante Elise to have fun in the snow with Léo and Nicolas.

A fast stop in the refuge Albert 1st to make our bags and to eat, before going down to the Tour.
Movie coming soon to theaters!  ;)
