Noelle Godfrey	Sunday 19 July 2009 9:27:42 pm Thanks Andy for another challenging and interesting week - albeit with a little more drama than we had bargained for.... It was particularly good to go through the theory and have a practise at some of the skills stuff like short roping and crevasse rescue (though no prizes for guessing who has been consigned to the gym for some extra sessions since we came home!). The photos you sent on are great and are a good reminder of the various things we did. There's a particularly good one of the Dent du Geant which has transfixed Michael so we might have to make that one of our objectives for a future trip. best wishes Noelle and Michael
Andy Perkins	Thursday 23 July 2009 5:38:39 pm Hi Noelle and Michael Indeed - 45 minutes of cardio pulmonary resuscitation is not an extra bonus that I provide on every ascent of the Cosmiques Arete. Sorry you had to be right next to all the drama. It wasn't very pleasant for anyone. Thanks for bearing with us.... The week certainly picked up after that initial first day, and I was really pleased with the way it turned out, combining your targets with those of Mark and Julian. It was especially nice that we could all meet up with them and Graham to round off the week at the Pavillon. The attraction of the Dent du Géant is duly noted. Let's plan for that in 2010! All the best ANDY P
