Friday to work directly out of Chamonix, in 4 hours (I thought it would be a little less) I planted there. Roads Swiss are all upside down, there are more sections to 80 which stretches to 120 ... Josie was left with the square of Les Houches and there it was waiting for me, very nice as always. We had dinner and slept in a very quiet and family gite, and we caught up each of our adventures. 
Saturday 7 am and were at the foot of the Aiguille du Midi cable car that rises to 3700 in half an hour, come on, a hit in the making. The Tour Ronde conditions were very bad, very hot and the snow was inconsistent as to try it, so I proposed to Josie the ridge east of the Pyramide du Tacul 3468. The approach is made from the Aigulle du Midi, is exiting the property edge of snow (Ruben, this time I was wide disfrutona, nothing to see when we were in 2007, this time a walk). Crossing the Valley Blanche and 90 minutes these at the foot of the stone mass. Seems small next to her sisters Grand Capucin, Devil's Hands, Mont Blanc du Tacul, etc, but it is a 250 meter track V of difficulty, unequipped, just higher than the Aneto and with a view to the Mer de Glace them Drus, Aiguille Verte, etc, spectacular. 
After crossing the bergschrund, we got into rock and out in like 6 long, long last 2 did in the assembly because it threatened storm. The rock is spectacular adhesive super, cracks, slabs, patio on both sides because it is a spur, very, very disfrutona and as this "low" height sickness was mild. At the top, the sound of thunder on the Mont Blanc was brutal and it started raining. No suck or liner because we had left everything in a tank at the foot of the road, we got 5 rappels flying to pull the foot down. It was part of the weekend fling, lots of adrenaline, very groovy. Important nodes "Machard" self-protection when rappelling at full speed. At the bottom, again we footwear boots, crampons, suck, ice axes, etc. and headed for the shelter of Torino. 
We crossed an area of \u200b\u200bstaggering enough cracks. By then it had stopped raining, but one day had been bleak. We passed the foot of the Tour Ronde and actually was quite bare of snow, there was no trace of any indication that anyone had gotten recently. Very tiring after two hours we arrived at the shelter height of Turin, with spectacular views of Mont Blanc Ridge Peuterey (Italian side). A terrible headache caught us at 2 for lack of acclimatization, but paracetamol and sleep a while we fix enough. Before dinner we consult the weather forecast and gave a very bad painting to do tomorrow Dent du Giant .... disappointed.
had dinner, we went to bed at 20.30 (Spain, qualified for semifinals for the first time in its history while). Relax, it seems that the height this time I played better than in the past Oberland. Sunday 4:30 am, got up and took the view that such whiskers .... wind, fog (foam) covering the whole valley and the peaks clear white ... difficult decision ... weight in deciding what we read in the previous day's weather storms on y. .. decided to sleep until 7 and get off at the first cable car. Then he showed it was a mistake because of storms and bad weather did not begin until the 11, so we would have had time to leave at 5 and return to the shelter by that time .... a penalty must be re. The Giant will have to wait a little more to climb your canine tooth decay ...
