Utsiktslöshet är inget faktum - utan en sinnesstämning att övervinna...
Sommaren 2020 kommer nior att gå till historien som en av mänsklighetens mera påtagliga sådana, mycket och manga har kommit på kant och kast under denna Covidment period. Som ännu i skrivandets stund har långt från att summaras nått sin vägs ände.

Quatre les têtes
les quatere Tetes - vallée l'Arve
A most brilliant flight of the obvious peak high above Sallanche and the valley of l´Arve, Chamonix
Le voie up to les Tetes is most straight forward from Burzier via refuge Doran. And what ever, don't miss the Myrtilles cake at the refuge!
From the hut the path gets steeper and +steeper, but le bellevue..cette juste tres bien, voila!
Once at the Tete summit the options to fly down is BIG. The best and most adrenalin one os the one to the south, just takes a bit of nil wind or head wind. Turbulance works out, but the couple of hundred meters drop makes it a bit…
With a north wind there is still a lot of other take off directions, really every choise of direction. The sky is the limit!
Et bonne voile...

Nant Fandraz - 400m WI5
Since the winter has started with low temperatures the ice conditions has turned out to be more than good
And togheter with the low amount of snow the approaches as well as the danger of getting avalanched is low as well. There fore many exposed ice routes is quite safe to approach and climb at the moment.
One of these is the ones up in the gorges above les Contamines, Nant Juaune, Fandraz and le Tremplin. All which a in good conditions at the moment.
After a ski tour up to mont Joly I just hooked on the plan to pack my light weight Ozone wing and go for a speed ascent of Fandraz. It just looked like a perfect goal and would bring a nice flight as well in my opinion at least...
Early morning and a look at "paragliding map" gave the answer that the wind was to strong and from the wrong direction. Bit nothing worse than I could do with an other coffee and perform a bit of "office work"
An hour later the sun was up there shining but the winds kept on it forces as well. But as the patience got lower I still just decided to give it a go. The extra weight of the glider, 1.2kilograms, is just nothing to fuzz about and it would still be a nice day outside
Driving up to the village with all the inspiring mountains around makes the day even "en plus" and togheter with some good country music in the speakers the mood is a top
The approach turns out to be a pure satisfaction, 20min of walking and I'm at the base of the gorge and a couple of 100mts of canyoning up the gorge brings me to the foot of the ice.
Time to start swinging!
Except for a couple of chamois I'm just by my self today, just foot prints from the ice team I saw wo days ago and nothing else
The climbing is easy on soft ice, with the only hazard of quite big stones that comes tumbling down the colouir now and then. Mostly then actually.
20 min approach and 1.40min climbing takes me to the summit slopes of T Orient and Mont Joly, with almost no wind...time for a bit of relaxing and dejuner in the sun. Finishing the water bottle and a pice of baguette
Then part 2 starts with a comfy descent with my Miniwing back down to the parking, almost landing at the back of my Ford
