"Race up the via ferrata to the summit - Susan 42 minutes, John 32. Good fun and a good test of fitness and recovery. Beautiful views of the mountains with their new coating of soft white stuff." — johnandsue4fun • Oct 27, 2020

"Attempted from Orcières-Merlette ski resort. Straightforward to Col des Pisses but the summit ridge of unstable rock was liberally plastered with lots of loose, cold powder snow on the north side and progress without ropes, etc was considered unjustifiable. We retreated to the col after crossing the first two gendarmes with much trepidation.
From there we made a consolation climb of the Sommet de Prelles on the opposite side of the col. Whilst being the higher summit this was much safer and passed with ease apart from the very strong and cold wind.
Susan as usual accompanied me." — johnandsue4fun • Oct 21, 2020

"Ascended from Les Baumes, 1350m, with Susan. 1630m ascent of which last 800 were on snow. Went via Lacs de Crupillouse and climbed directly to summit from the higher lake. Wonderful views of most of the Ecrins massif. " — johnandsue4fun • Oct 20, 2020

"Walked up via the Vallon du Sapet above Moissiere on a very well made path in large zigzags. Weather great again. 800m ascent from parking at about 1650m in 90minutes. Same time for descent!
With Susan." — johnandsue4fun • Oct 13, 2020
