Glacier skills ... without crampons!

Une école de glace dans les Écrins sans crampons pour le guide ? On taille des marches et on improvise avec Nadine, Nathalie, Mickaël, Marie et Gilles.

And off we go! A little glacier skills session in the Écrins… with no crampons for the guide!

Nadine, Nathalie, Mickaël, Marie and Gilles are starting to wonder about this guide who reckons he can run a glacier session without his kit. Still, we’ll have to find a way to make it work or the afternoon goes out the window!

A bit of head-scratching and, above all, some step cutting later, we end up with a more than respectable glacier skills session.

It helps that everyone’s so relaxed. The group has known each other for barely a few hours and the banter is already relentless… They’re taking shots at point-blank range!

Never a laugh in the mountains, is there?
