TR: Chamonix VB family day

By the rules of the game I am an older JONG and couldn't think of any stupid questions, so I'll throw up some shots of our spring trip in Chamonix.
No action shots as I was either following the leader staying away from crevasses or taking pics during group stops. Will return with better TR's from Cham later.
And a word of thanks to Telepathetic and Idris for the local info and advice.

A welcome sight after the planes and trains

Nice work, looking forward to more Cham TRs in the future.

The glacier definitely looks being filled in way more than when we hit it last January. Thanks for sharing.

Great family trip - really cool!

lol. I still don't have entry into the club if that's the inclusion criterion! ;)

Thanks for the posting!
