The current heat wave is certainly having an impact on the snow conditions this summer, with little freezing up high and lots of rock fall. It's important to keep your eyes open and play it safe on steeper mixed routes and many of the classic snow routes. Conditions are dry, and getting even dryer as days go by. On a happier note, many rock and ridge routes are in a very good state. For those itineraries requiring a glacier traverse to approach the routes, like the Swiss route of the Grand Capucin, it's a little hairy. We have chosen to stay on solid ground for the next week, heading towards the Matterhorn and other peaks...enjoy the climbing!
