Lovely Lillaz

By Alan Kimber on 08/02/2014

Compared to yesterday when we arrived in Cogne, today the sunshine Gods were leading the pack! An early start on the classic Cascade Lillaz .enabled us to stay ahead of the arriving coach loads . There were probably around two hundred people in the gorge today and all were having fun, working for the ‘Boss’ of West Coast Mountain Guides Bruce Poll.
We finished the main climb and descended by simple snowy tracks to the foot of the middle pitches and enjoyed more good ice.. Plenty of teams out working on the side walls and no avalanche issues at all in this area. A number of harder routes above the gorge were being climbed. We descended for well earned beers at around 1600 and it started snowing again.
