video of the day

To this saturday i planned to climb Mont de l’Etoile(3369m) starting in La Gouille at Val d’Hérens, it’s a weird Winter this year, it did not snow for 3/4 weeks!
From La Gouille i follow the summer route to Cabane des Aiguilles Rouges, it’s a long way, near the hut i went north directly to the join the SE face of the Mont de l’Etoile, it tooked me about 3h45m to gain the 1550m of height diference, the weather was nice but once at the summit it was very cold, about -13C , i ate something, took a few pictures, admired the landscape and then it was time to return.
I followed almost entirely the same route as in the way up, once again the snow was not outstanding but i finished with a banana face, nice day passed on the mountain.
