It seems as...

Voted 10/10

there was good weather. Was that pic taken the same day the storm approached?

	Voted 10/10	This picture was taken on Monday morning (August 23rd), probably around 10:00am. The two previous days had been clear but extremely cold for this part of the year - I was in Courmayeur (the village you see behind Rahel's back) and last few nights had been freezing even at 1200m. Weather began to deteriorate later on Monday afternoon, in a fashion similar to the one shown in my page here http://www.summitpost.org/article/221190/How-a-Storm-Comes-to-Mt-Blanc.html By Tuesday morning it was raining literally in buckets. The mountain you see to the right of Rahel's back was strewn with ephemeral, rain-made water streams. One can only imagine how bad where conditions up the Innominata ridge.

How sad

Voted 10/10

that this wonderful ridge climb should lead to your losing her! But at least it is a beautiful remembrance.
