My fears of today have thankfully, thus far, not materialised and I am already over 2000m. The last refuge before I head up and over the Grand Col is a beauful converted farm building which now serves as a restaurant, unfortunately it has been over-run by a huge crowd of Americans who seem to have adopted the English approach of asking louder until you get want you want.
Sat outside in the sun but as was predicted the wind had reduced temperatures to well below freezing, had a really nice hot chocolate with a ham and cheese sandwich so everything is great. Only 500m to the summit, that's 500m up, probably 3km in actual distance. The snow is settled at something like 2200m so I'll be needing the snow shoes :)
