Rock and Bivouac WE in the Aiguilles Rouges

We take advantage of the peace preceding the summer season to make a beautiful excursion in the Aiguilles Rouges. The cable railway doesn't work yet and the Aiguilles aren't very frequented. We leave the parking lot of the Brévent heavily charged with all we need to bivouac, to climb, to eat... it certainly fills our bags.






A beautiful ascent under the sun and in the woods leads us over Planpraz where we decide to install our bivouac.
After a good picnic, we begin the approach of the climbing route Crakoucass approach, the ski slopes are still well covered with snow and allow us to ascend almost directly.

The climb is fun, the snowy descent also!

 

Arrived at the bivouac, the water and meal operation begins. The view is awesome, but, on the other side, the Aiguilles of Chamonix get cloudy..
We look at the weather report: no rain before 14 o'clock... We settle down under the balconies of a chalet for the night! 15 minutes later, it is as if a waterfall were trying to test the waterproofness of the bivouac bags.


On Sunday morning, its still raining...
At 8 am finally, we can see the sun! We dry our equipment and have breakfast. The weather report still seems as uncertain and we take advantage of the good weather period to come back down

The timing is perfect, the rain starts again when we arrive at the parking lot.
