A tour through a surprisingly unpopulated French-Robertson traverse. Uptrack in French is dealers choice, we chose an interesting one but after an unexpected recon of Murray bowl, contoured into the super bullet proof French glacier. Fast going up to Haig and then a relatively straightforward run up the col. The way down Robertson was scrapy, to say to least but also indicative of the poor snowpack that slots were quite apparent on the descent. All in all a day that lived up to expectations- good travel, not counting up tracks in French valley.
