Feb 2022 French Alps part 2

Type: Interesting

Description:
Continuation of our adventures. We try to use every free moment to do things that add positive energy, take care of fitness and good shape. In the second part, first (at 00:37 in the film) is ascent on skins to La Princesse and then glide at sunset. Next segment (at 04:43 in the film) is approach from Chedde and glide from Plaine Joux, as in the first part of the film, but every day is different. And this time everything turned out differently. Then we quickly move to Les Contamines Montjoie (at 08:54 in the film) where we standardly skin up and then fly down. This time the approach was quite long and laborious. During the flight, hands were practically freezing. It was also almost at sunset. February, day still short. 5 PM was almost evening. Landing in the parking lot right next to the La Gorge ski lift. Last segment (at 15:52 in the film) is our first steps in ice climbing. The day before we saw climbers in action. We got the urge to try ourselves on the ice wall. It wasn't easy. Crampons with proper spikes matter here. As in climbing, first good footing. Handling ice axes also required some practice. First cats over the fence.
