Today the
goal was set on the macho couloir that begins at col du Diable. We skied down
from Aiguille du midi out on the Vallee Blanche and rounded up Point Adolphe Rey
to get to the start of the day´s ski mission. We crossed the Bergschrund and
climbed up the couloir just right of the Grand Capucin. When the Couloir came
to an end we made a long traverse and crossed another bergschrund. From here it
was only up and the snow felt good. Once we were on the steepest section clouds
started to close in. Already feeling tired after yesterday´s mission and with
that not feeling super comfortable on the steeps in bad visibility on skis I
decided to bail together with Niko Palo and Lauri Harjukoski. Mikko and Jesper
continued they had just half an hour left to the top of the col.
The ski down was great; the snow was generally good withjust a few icy sections and some heavy sluff at some points. A pity that I didn´t do the complete run but I’ll be back!
