A small team of 3 assembled at 9 bells on the Col de la Columbi\u00e8re in fair weather, promising heat. Our route in Guide Franck was described as 618m d\u00e9nivellation, and 3.5 hours. We had a suspicion, proved correct later, that it was closer to 980m and 6 hours with stops. We left the crowds at the Col (oddly, all going up the other side of the Col from us) and after a pleasant traverse we headed up through la Combe des Fours (with distant bouqetin) and on up left on a narrowing flower-filled crest to the Pd’A. Over 30 lammergeiers were whirling in front, behind, above and below us as we gazed out on fantastic views including the dominant N face of Pte Perc\u00e9e and lady Mt Blanc in the wings. Returning via the same route then up towards T\u00eate d’Auferrand where we took lunch and some reviving Scottish fluid. Fine views of the Jalouvre from the top of the Td’A gave rise to an interesting descent to the Col and large panach\u00e9es. Attending and suffering from leg cramp – Richard, Robert, Peter. August apologies – from the rest of the team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
