Had a long, exhausting, great day with @fabi_buhl yesterday, climbing the mythic Walker Spur on the north face of Les Grandes Jorasses. The theme of the day for me was naïveté. Having climbed the Colton-MacIntyre once ten years ago, I assumed that the Walker would be a similar undertaking, but in fact it has a ton more climbing on it. We brought just a single half rope (my bad idea), which for the Colton-Mac I would’ve been perfectly comfortable with, but with pitch after pitch of insecure climbing, with plenty of potential for big falls over rock edges, it felt rather stupid to be tied into only one 7.7mm rope. With the sunny afternoons feeling so warm in Chamonix I packed my clothing relatively light, and absolutely froze my ass off. As it turns out, even if winter is over and the weather is mild, being on a north face in March on a 4,200m mountain feels cold, especially when the sun goes down and there’s even just a bit of wind. The biggest lesson learned however was that we should’ve taken some oversized rock shoes to wear with warm socks. Some rock works really well with drytooling techniques, and in fact some pitches are easier with axes and crampons than with bare hands and rock shoes (part of why I don’t consider anything with axes to be true free-climbing, even though it’s obviously far more athletic than traditional aid climbing). However, as it turns out, the majority of harder pitches on the Walker are predominantly slabby face climbing (for some reason I’d just assumed cracks), and climbing them in crampons felt pretty engaging to me! Despite my naïveté, it was an awesome first time tying in with super-polyvalent Fabi. @patagonia_climb @petzl_official @scarpaspa @ Chamonix, France
