Great climb. However I can't stand (o understand, for that matter) that these climbers (alpine guides I bet) make such mistakes. For example, notice at 3:59-4:11 the belay station. Two ice screws placed in a too wide angle.Should be one above the other, the layout used puts much more stress and favours horizontal cracks in ice. Also, notice the screw on the right side of the screen (Grivel I believe due to the non colapsible handle and square head). It is not fully inserted. If there is not enough ice, use a shorter screw or tie a sling to the tube itself close to the ice to decrease leverage. But nop! Instead she just cliped the carabiner on the damn tube itself! Great climb, but I just can believe they show this on video. Some people may understand they are doing it in the right way and putting themselves in danger.
miferna I was also very surprised seeing that belay station. It's strange to see that kind of big mistakes, even two or three of them in the same operation. Or maybe these are improvements that nor me and you know... :/
tubegabi I promise you that if I come across any of this guys in June... I will surely ask them! I am going back to Chamonix from May 30th to June 14th. But I promise you I won't even attempt this climb!
Perhaps it was the only good ice? More importantly, why would they all lug their skis to the top of the climb, then rappel back down before skiing home? Why not leave them at the bottom of the climb?

Question tout con mais vous faites quoi des mètres de cordes que vous laissez derrière et en général comment est-ce qu'on récupère les cordes dans ce genre de situation ?
