| Clare on the ridge route, Eldelweiss |
Climbing in the Engadine today - at Plaun da Lej - just outside St Moritz. It's been a warm day overall, but few showers swept through the valley in the early afternoon threatening to spoil the fun. A nice overhanging bit of rock at the base of the crag, provided a really good picnic spot and view point, where we could shelter until the rain passed and the blue skies returned.
The rock was quick to dry and it was a splendid place to soak up the beautiful views down the valley, with snow capped peaks above the lakes. Some nice routes to climb as well. Made it to the top of the last route at double speed as a wall of dark clouds made it's way up the valley towards us. Nothing like a nearby lightning flash to crystallize the concentration and make you climb faster! It was spotting with rain as I rapidly threaded the belay, but we it back to the car before the heavens opened!
