Slept late, slow bkfst, then laundry. Walk around the pedestrian streets of Chamonix

Went to Micro Brasserie de Chamonix, the only brew pub in the region. Good beers, food and pub atmosphere.

Refuge to Les Houches, final hiking day

Another perfect weather day with great views but a long day. Climb to Col du Brevent and Le Brevent with some ladders and ropes but less scary than yesterday. 1500 m of decent back to town was hard on our legs.

Beer to celebrate our completion at the Kitsch Inn and then a bus to Chamomix. A little adventure finding our hotel but it's fine. Late dinner of salad and pizza.

Argentiere to Refuge La Flegere

Steep climb to Lac Blanc with excellent views of Mt B and cloudless sky. Sections of ladders, ropes and stairs made it a bit nerve wracking. Descended then about 500m to refuge.

Refuge served tartiflette for dinner which is like rich scalloped potatoes with ham. Too rich for our tastes. Bkfst was standard hut fare.

Bunked in a room with 3 other people but did manage hot showered.
