Gil and
Jon were taken out on a walk today while Alex and I had a rest day. We have
been given tickets so we can travel free with all public transportation in the
Chamonix Valley while we’re here so we took the train into Chamonix to have a
walk around. The ride there was nothing short of beautiful. When walking I
realized that my calves were totally shot but otherwise I felt fine.
The
weather was quite cloudy but we luckily didn’t get any rain. Due to the clouds
we gave up on going up to Aiguille du Midi so after lunch we had a bit of
trotting around before returning to Argentiere. The moment we stepped out of
the train it started pouring down and coming back to the chalet we found the
two others had also just returned. They had had a great walk above the clouds
mostly, but it had been hard on the calves and spent a lot of the time on
narrow ledges.
We watched the GoPro recording from the summit yesterday; the footage was great,
beautiful views – but those ledges and steep slopes…
