Tobias Granath - a Chamonix photo diary
2007/04/14 - Col des Cristaux, North/East face

photo01 (IMG_1072.JPG Kb)

This is a route that I'm probably going to redo many times. The face is not very long, about 500m and the access with skins is easy.

It was not a perfect day to go here. Cloudy and foehn wind...I remember that I was on the top about 3sec. The wind was very strong...

It's 1015 vertical meters up and 2350 vertical meters down...

It took one hour to climb up from the bergschrund.
