Today was the first day of our third mountain guide course. We are in
Chamonix at the moment and spent the day close to the mid station of Aiguille
du Midi for some ecole de neige (snow school). We were going through everything
that has to do with snow and guiding (with out skis), such as making steps,
tracking, self arrest, short roping in snow, different snow anchors etc. It was
a good day in the sun, and tomorrow really early we are driving to Champex to
walk up to Cabane d’Orny for a couple of days of short roping in alpine
terrain, glacier travel and rescue and so on. From there the weather decide
where we will go!
