I got some super tasty and creamy chocolate from my Valentine…
Then we went ice climbing; Lillaz Cascade is a wonderful long route just five minutes walk from the centre of Lillaz where we are staying. Multi pitch ice climbing doesn’t get more convenient than this…

The first pitch of Lillaz Cascade

Laetitia on the third (or was it fourth) pitch of six!

The Valielle valley, there are dozens of ice routes left and right!
Today we went back up the Valielle valley to do Candelabro del Coyote. The first 60m rope-stretching pitch was amazing…


Steep and chandelier-ice near the top of the pitch

Laetitia starting the spectacular free hanging abseil back down next to the enormous icicles of the main pitch

Buried in powder on the descent back to Lillaz

Tish, is that last shot a failed snow angel that you didn’t want to admit too?! Come on, own up…
Some quality looking ice there, shame it’s still overcast
You’re right. A little more practice is required. See my next blog…
