I enjoyed your Dibona escapades and this is another very enjoyable video clip. Congratulations on making the Dome de Neige - not bad considering time you had to acclimatise.
Your Dibona clip had actually inspired me towards trying to take one of my sons up her in June/July, but funnily enough the other choice was the Barre! However, with other members in the party (including my 18 month old granddaughter) I think Dibona will be the more realistic choice given limited time available for the two of us to take a quick trip (and noting how ill you were with your short window of opportunity!). The Barre will have to wait for another year - but it is on the list, as is Dome de Neige!
BTW - still on the subject of Dibona - have you seen this:
Heya Mark and many thanks for taking the time to reply again mate! Yep we had only been in the area for 3 days and had a short weather window so took a punt to see how far we could get. The views from the Dome and the amazing brocken spectre were ample compensation for not making the Barre, though my mates who did make the summit are definitely aliens... ;-)
Anyway good luck with your Dibona trip and fingers crossed the weather in the Alps is better for us all this summer! :-) Cheers Dave
