Ice climbing Brutus (Fournel)

With Ju, a morning of ice climbing in the Fournel valley: several lines on Brutus, then a visit to Périphérique Ouest before heading back down together.

Another morning out with Ju, getting to grips with the frozen stuff!

We head into the Fournel valley to a short icefall, where we enjoy climbing several different lines. Going by the gentle name of Brutus, it is in good condition that day, with plenty of natural placements for hooking our tools.

We also have a look at Périphérique Ouest, where conditions are a little less favourable.

We walk down from the top, then abseil from an ice thread to reach the foot of Brutus’s main wall. A fine morning of ice climbing in the Fournel valley!
