... but where's the snow?
With Jen's new ice tools to try, we headed north - straight to Cogne, where we hoped the cold weather had recreated some of the ice falls we enjoyed climbing so much last year.
The town wasn't quite like we had remembered it ... it was a lot barer in the carpark with no mounds of snow to hide behind, and the overall colour scheme was browns and greys, not sparkly white. We set off for a walk to find the ice falls, and found only their prototypes.
So, despite the cold weather, no ice climbing ... yet! But it will come, and we'll be back.

| According to our guidebook, there should be several ice falls here. |
