Back climbing with Mister Loste on Tête d’Aval: the start of Polichinelle, the finish of Pilier Rouge and a timely reminder that we are rather rusty.
The indecently warm weather of January 2015 has finally persuaded us to head uphill in search of cooler air!
To rediscover the joys of vertical mineral travel, Mister Loste himself and I treat ourselves to a day on Tête d’Aval. Hauling bodies stiffened by long months of horizontal living to the top of this lump of rock already seems a thoroughly noble ambition!
The reckoning comes in the first few pitches: awkward movements, heavy backsides and brains struggling to process all the information suddenly coming their way. In short, we flounder, as any respectable return to climbing demands…
For this multi-pitch outing on Tête d’Aval, we link the start of Polichinelle with the finish of Pilier Rouge. A useful reminder to our arms, feet and everything in between of what climbing actually involves!
