Frison Roche - Aiguille Rouge

I figure I have guided 50 out of the past 60 days at this point.  After arriving back home from the Matterhorn at 10pm the idea of getting up for some more climbing was a little tough...   So we opted for a 1030 breakfast.  3 coffees later we managed to make our way to the top of the Brevent lift on the Aiguille Rouge side of the Chamonix Valley to climb the classic Frison Roche (5.10).  Great climb with steep juggy climbing on nice rock.  And my favorite part: you walk down hill to approach and top out at the gondola.  Perfect!
