This week I was up on Pierre du Moëllé above Leysin in warm spring weather. I though it would be a great place to go with nice, clear weather and views over to Mont Blanc like this one:
We climbed quite a long way up onto the ridge and might have gone further but as the day warmed up I was concerned about the growing danger from wet snow avalanches. It would have been quite possible to go further but the descent would have been difficult.
I can see there’s also been a hare around here (below) you can the distinctive track on the photo.
That’s our tracks (below) coming back from the ridge on the skyline, the earlier photo’s are in the light tree cover you can see in the background.
Finally, just as we get towards the col, you can get an idea how wet the top layers of snow are getting from this photo:
