Top pic- Is a topo of the second half of the route in the setting sun
Yesterday Euan and I headed up on the 11:45 telepherique to the half way station on the Aiguille du Midi. We then walked for about 40mins, which took us to the bottom of our route which was the 3rd Spur (TD) 1300m. We started climbing around 1pm. The route consisted of some good technical rock and mixed climbing and some aiding to speed things along. We got to the top Midi station at 5am this morning after climbing through the night. It was a good route and the weather could not have been any better. It was my first route on this Mountain and after looking around at the numerous routes in the area while climbing last night, I can safly say it wont be my last.
