The last preparations at Praz Coutant
After Charbonnière, we climb the slope under Plate's desert
A little break before climbing the first corridor
The first ascent was hard, Paipai is profusely sweating !
The hard section...
The arrival on the Plate's desert
The footbridge's crossing
Be careful to your knives, Tanguy !
Condign snack at Plate's chalets
There is a lot of snow ! (we are just at the end of december)
Sylvain : "I would gladly eat a cow!"
After the snack, the pass of Portette wait on us
Hard, hard, the sharp bends while we are digesting
Phew! The pass !
But the sun has already vanished behind the Derochoir Dérochoir...
We are unsticking the sealskins...
...and we ski down ! Excellent snow !
As we arrive to the Salles' chalets, there is not so much light... but we go on the downhill.
Mistake !!! Now we have to retrace our steps...
It is 19:30 and we arrive in the refuge ...
This time we are all tired ! "Who want to cook the pasta ?"
The next morning (but not at dawn), we just have to fill up our flasks before leaving the refuge
Here we go again in the opposite direction !
The day was very long yesterday... It will promise a few difficulties for today !
We go up the Salles' small valley...
Portette again...
"Puffed snow is invigorating !"
We can make our tracks : the happiness !
