Description

Day one acclimatising walk. From Ailfroide campsite 1500m to the Sele hut 2511m.
Hot sunny day, with increasing wind at height. Noted the formation of lenticular clouds which goes with the forecast of expected high winds for the following day, however they did disperse. Perhaps forecast weather blown through quicker.
Explored further up the moraine to scope out potential routes for later in the week.
Return by same route. Cable section for the final 500m of ascent to the hut directly up the rock face. Very beautiful route.
15km for the day. Saw chamois and heard lots of Marmots. The flowers are stunning this time of year .
