4:30am - out of the house by 5am - start walking by 6am. At this time of the morning everything seems a little blurred.
At first we hiked along the valley bottom, which looked like something out of the Lord of the Rings.
We then took the steep right hand fork up to the Glacier du Clot des Cavales. Crossing the small glacier took us to our final destination - Col du Clot des Cavales (3158m).
The views through the col were stunning. The ground just fell away from us down to the valley bottom.
We fueled up on mackerel sandwiches and then headed back to Le Pied du Col to find the car.
Later that evening Tom and I completed the "Italian Job" :)
