As Al and Breezy are out of confinement and we missed the last walk with them, we planned a "catch-up" walk. They chose Pic Seron and although Pic de Mont Rouge was an option, on arrival we decided to stick to plan A. The clouds were clearing, the sky was blue, but the grass was decidedly wet which made for slippery moments on the granite!
We headed up to the quarry then on to the Crête de Seron (West ridge), which has become the "voie normale" in recent years. It's the best way up the mountain for sure.
The weather was warm with a cool breeze, a welcome rest-bite from the normal high humidity of June. We were above the clouds, but they pursued us through the morning eventually engulfing us just after the summit.

We descended from the summit after lunch via the Etang d'Aubé and the col de Cerda. Still some old snow between the summit and the Etang.
A pleasant 6 hour walk including lunch and stops. On the return from Gerac we spotted some vultures watching us from Freychet.
