The Tournier Spur

In August, Nick Bullock and Keith Ball climbed the Tournier Spur on the north face of the Aiguille de Midi.

“We went in search of sun kissed rock and got squeaky styrofoam neve instead. It provided some loos,e but much needed acclimatization and a return to summer alpinism for Nick.,” said Ball.

“The main event was a three-day journey from Italy to France over Mont Blanc via the Grand Pillier D’Angle. The Bouchard into the Boivin-Vallençant led the way with amazing wintery conditions for August.”
