The next day, Richard took us just outside of Chamonix to hike up and climb the Auguille du Tour. After hiking to the Albert 1st hut, we roped up and put on our crampons to hike up & over the snow and ice until we reached the climbing portion. Very tough day but we made the summit. On the way down I broke through a snow bridge and was partially submerged in a crevasse. Not a big deal but on this day I started to get blisters on my feet.
