This is a photo from this weeks Alpine Intro course group, as they ascended the Cheserys cliffs on Monday. They have spent a day learning crampon and snow skills on the Plan d’Aiguille glaciers, and also spent a day rock climbing and learning Alpine ropework. Today they have set off to ascend to a mountain hut on Gran Paradiso, and the weather looks perfect for their ascent tomorrow. There is a great weather window for them that is centered over the Paradiso National Park, so good luck all for your ascent!
