Chamonix trail run

In addition to a nice walk and dinner with Selden, I did a trail run on the Petit Balcon Sud. I started up the very steep first kilometer, just as clouds were lifting to unveil the Bossons Glacier.

The Oldest Guiding Company in the world

The company was started in 1821, and there is a wonderful mural in the center of town - near Snell's Sports - which has full scale paintings of the most famous guides.

The bottom mural, are of the earliest guides, from left to right … From Lt: Edouard Cupelin, Francois Devouassoud, Joseph Ravanel, Michel Payot, and Michel Croz.

Maison de la Montagne

Selden jumped in to make a rope of three, with this mural of a guide leading a client on the Mer de Glacé during the 1800s.

Fall Foliage is approaching its peak

Of course, peak foliage will probably come this weekend, while we are in Chamonix. By the time we get home, most of the leaves will probably have fallen.

I had a nice hour long hike with stash today.
