If you aren't paying attention?

My friend Jon..did a nice (remember"nice" can be a relative thing;) trip the other day.



I love traverses although I haven't done all that many. But the long day (or days) out can be great fun.



Jon's adventure has to be one of the better ones I have seen lately.






The line: 41 Km and 5000m of ascent. Les Contamines to Aiguille du Midi









41 fooking Kms?! 25 miles in the alpine! Chit man..that is a long day's walk by any standard. Good on ya!



The rest of his adventure is here:
