This morning I did an easy hike - out and back - to Lac Gaillands, and then spent about 45 minutes bouldering at the crag there. The afternoon was spent reading, sitting in the hot tub with Selden, and then another hike to La Pierre a Ruskin.
John Ruskin (8 February 1819 – 20 January 1900) was an English writer, philosopher, art historian, art critic and polymath of the Victorian era. He wrote on subjects as varied as geology, architecture, myth, ornithology, literature, education, botany and political economy.
He spent a great deal of time in Chamonix, and this rock was a place where he used to sit, think, paint, and gaze at the Mont Blanc massif.
