Well, we got back without too many injuries. Several epics were well performed by certain people. Notable events were the ultra-light, ultra-fast traverse of the Pelvoux in a record 28 hrs by *****, *******, and ***** (names have been erased to protect the embarassed) and an ascent of the Fissure d'Ailefroide by another party (of 5!) in similiar style, amongst others.
