Description

Once again the amount of snow did not allow a direct crossing from Cougourde to Rif Remondino, so we chose the long way round, which needed an early start down valley to Le Boreon. Storm damage prevented us traversing at high level so we had to go right down to Boreon & see the damage. Then a long up to Col de Cerise with a ruined barracks at the frontier. Steeply down on soft snow for a long way. We cut across awkward ground to Rif. Regina Elena. Finally, 2 hot long hours up to Rif Remondino at 17.30, a 9hr 45m day with 1700m ascent.
