Chamonix Day #2

A longer day than we planned, a late start, and s long wait for the Grand Montets tram. Dick, Dave, Murph, Stegs, and Harry went to the top and then skied piste. Carter and I put on the rope and crampons and got to within 75 meters of the summit of the Petite Aguille Verte. Normally it is mostly skinning but not today. We turned around at 3 pm as we had a 5000' descent, with the top being challenging with packs. Good day.
