Day 11 TMB

Wow, what a day! We climbed the famous Aiguilette d'Argentiere via ladders, steps, and just good old-fashioned, exhausting climbing. After hours of ascending we reached Lac Blanc and our refuge for the night.

Mary Ann, Merilyn, and me with some of our new friends, Cherie from Australia, and Justine and Steve from England. 

Climbing the cliffs of the Argentiere. 

We made it! (almost)

Relaxing at the top (Lac Blanc) with new friend Kate. 

Bilberry tart high in the Alps. Bilberries are like wild blueberries or huckleberries and are in season everywhere at high elevations. 

Beautiful Lac Blanc

Ibex!
