Aprils work involved winter alpine climbing courses - ie bashing up couloirs in Cham – with some great technical routes climbed on the Midi and the Argentiere basin. Highlights included modern mixed obscura such as Vent du Dragon (M5+) on the NW face of the Midi, (gained by rapping off the Midi summit bridge) and some other harder (un-named?) things to the right at around M6/M6+. There’s some brilliant varied climbing on this face, with easy access making it useful for non-skiers or mixed weather. It’s not too well documented though, and dropping in from the bridge certainly adds to the commitment factor, so despite the quick access it still manages to feel like a proper day out!
