First days of the À Voix Haute project, and our super team works so well together! Our youth empowerment project is launched! À Voix Haute, En Voz Alta has taken wings and flown the kids from @escalando_fronteras to France. Tack så mycket @oskarlindby pour toutes les excelentes tres días in Argentière Basin! It was nice to sleep in and get out with the yawn patrol, using the long summer days to our advantage. No filter, no edits - just mountains, in their depthless detail. The mighty ibex can kill a grizzly bear. But it just wants to lay in the sun, scratching its back with diabalically over-sized horns, and will generally flee if a puny, curious human ventures close. L'Aigle du Midi. A bird that flocks to the walls and summits of the highest peaks with funny running vests, hopping around rocks and eating on the go. Sketchy animals that you find in #sketchylandscapes: the buck-toothed hillbilly marmot, who will eat your sweat-soaked shoes and shoulder pack straps, steal your stowed lunch, and make a nest from your sling anchor cord. They wiggle when they run 😂 @oskarlindby @filiplindby Approach on Mer de Glace to bivvy two nights above Leschaux Refuge in the Chamonix Alps.
