Nuit de repos réparatrice à Peisey-Nancroix avant de se lancer le lendemain dans la traversée de l'arête reliant le Dôme de la Sache au Mont Pourri (3779 m). Le matin, nouvelle sortie floristique en direction de l'Aiguille Rousse par des sentiers où abondent les orchidées de toutes sortes. Montée dans l'après-midi vers les stations des Arcs par une piste encore bien enneigée, ce qui nous force à un arrêt prématuré en raison d'un bulldozer déblayant le passage. Nous avons donc entamé la montée to Grand Pass, then to switch on the other side by a steep slope toward the unguarded shelter of the Turia. The view, though partially obscured by the usual clouds of night, opens wide on the Great Sassière and surrounding peaks.

This race was quite difficult initially planned last year but canceled at the last minute due to bad snow conditions. This year, things seemed to be in a better light but the absence of marked freeze does not ease the task. In fact, during most of the crossing to the Dome de la Sache, we stirred in us pushing sometimes to the knee. The ascent of the ridge of Mont Pourri final has been welcomed back before approaching the top of the snow conditions are more favorable. Unfortunately brief respite for the snow was soft again presented at our feet down the Geay Glacier and Grand Pass. No worries, the 9 hours of effort were not in vain ...
