52 Weeks Project
You can't win them all, you cant's climb them all...
Location: Rue de la Rosière in
un hameau Northwest of Bourg Saint-Maurice at an altitude of +945 meters.
Reason: My plan was to climb to the
Chapelle Saint-Michel at 1,345 meters I'm indicating on this selfie. A colleague has left behind a beautiful memory to commemorate our former manager of the Dutch Thalys group. This all at the little chapel all the way up. My plan was to walk up that steep hill (another 400 meters plus) to commemorate 'our René' as well...
Mission Aborted: Some snow finally felt on Bourg Saint-Maurice last week and the path towards the foot of huge rock face were covered with snow and ice. Once on the rock where the
Chapelle Saint-Michel is located was free from snow and ice and no problem, but the way to the rock was the problem here. My footwear was more than OK for just snow, but the ice made me decided not to walk all the way up. The mission has been postponed to a next time and opportunity (with
crampons under my shoes,
spikes so you want.
So I did commemorate
René from this point. I'm sure he would have said "safety first" as well.
