Brilliant early autumn rock climbing conditions in the Chamonix Valley

The spectaular setting for the airy traverse of 'Le Razoir' on the Chappelle de Gliere, Aiguilles Rouges, Chamonix

Temperatures have plummeted and the hills, crags and streets of the Chamonix are emptying of the crowds of August. This is the favourite time of most Guides in the Chamonix Valley.

Cooler air but sun warmed south facing rock, good friction but no queues. Autumn has arrived in the Chamonix Valley....

We have been out making the most of the current spell of fine weather with ascents of 'Asia'; South Face of the Grande Floria, 'Frisson-Roche', South Face of the Brevent and the North Pillar of the Aiguille Pourrie, all in the Aiguilles Rouges.
