Here are some photos of the Mont Rond summit in the Jura, climbed yesterday in my snowshoes - gorgeous weather and great views from the top over Lake Geneva to the Alps to the south, and to the north over the Jura.
Looking NE to the Col de la Faucille (Sickle Col)
Jura to the North
more Jura
Looking SW along the ridge. A little cornice on the left but the snow has all whited out.
Me with the alps - Mont Blanc is just above my left ear.
Summit white out. Cloth cap on sticks - first flat cap to summit Mt Rond.
Summit knoll from just below.
View across to the alps and Mt Blanc.
Mont Rond is an extremely high mountain and a very challenging climb. It took me 3 hours there and back sustained only by a cheese sandwich and flask of tea. But it was worth it for the views...
