July 2019 - Ascent from Les Confins. What an incredible hike! Absolutely loved every minute of it. The lower Alpine pastures and forest was beautiful, and this gave way to huge glacial corries, and then eventually jagged peaks and knife-edged ridges. A French couple joined me on the summit, and we marvelled in the view. The panorama at the top of Tête Pelouse totally erases the exertions. From the Bargy to the Mont Blanc Massif, the Aravis Range with the Pointe Percée visible above the Trou de la Mouche, and the impressive combe of Grand Crêt, which was entirely hidden by cloud giving the impression of an inversion, directly at your feet, the scenery is simply grandiose. Some great scrambling and scree fields followed in joining the path for the descent. I’ll let the pictures (and video) do the talking!
