Descents are harder than ascents…

What a special day, I don’t think it’s really possible to have a bad day out here in the alps. We arose around 6am this morning but waited in our tents until after 7am because of rain. We had a steep climb to kickstart our day and just insane light and landscapes in view the whole way up.

After peaking, it would be a loooong descent into Courmayeur, which is a pretty iconic Italian mountain town. We considered taking the chairlift down but decided against it, we are too elitist for that… haha. 1,500m down hurt, the legs were wobbly when we hit the bottom that’s for sure! 

A 2 hour rest in town was well needed, we charged our devices and had a great burger and coffee. Huge descents have equally opposite huge ascents and that was our afternoon mission. 1,500m straight up back into the high country. Beautiful as always and the weather mostly played nice despite threatening rain. We set up camp in a fairly protected little saddle after another challenging and epic day on the TMB. Loving living.
