After yesterdays adventures, we both felt like a more chilled day today, (i.e without the hour walk in and out), so drove over to Vallorcine near the Swiss boarder. We'd both been to the crag before, but many years ago. It's only a half an hour from Chamonix, but the valley has a completely different feel. Much more relaxed and rural. The view from the climb was as good as the climbing itself.
We climbed two of the long classic routes, one of which was good, the other, outstanding. Climbing in the shade in the morning, was still plenty warm enough. By afternoon it was getting too hot in the sun. This and the now presence of many, many other climbers (some of which seemed to know what they were doing, but mostly not), we decided to call it a day and go and meet Clare for a drink instead.
