A nice time on this exciting interesting climb

Mont Viso, Italy

Bad weather forced us from Chamonix, so we chose an adventure in Italy and climbed Monto Viso 3841m.
This photo shows Pete on the initial via ferrata.

Even taht far south we had snow down to about 3200 m.

Pete climbing a tricky section nearing the summit
