Although the weather today was a bit miserable, Sandrine and I ventured upto col de Pause with the aim of climbing Pic de Fonta via the south ridge called Serre Durban. Unfortunately the descent from point 1835m was across very steep wet snow resting precariously on wet gispet grass. Sandrine had forgotten her axe and an unstoppable slip into the Valley d'Aula 1000m below was not worth thinking about. We retraced our steps and after a short circuit around the Cabane d'Areau headed for an early return home.
On route we saw a huge male isard, from the length of his horns, quite old.
Yesterday evening I got my first share of game - a piece rump and a leg of sanglier. Tonight sanglier slow cooked in red wine.
