Three days, three summits - Day 3: Aiguille de la Grande Sassière (3747m)

My alarm rang at 4.45am. After the last two summits I struggled to get out of bed! I met Ben at 5.30am and we were moving by 6.15am. The Sassière valley is long and quite flat, so it took nearly 6 hours of plodding to get to the summit, walking with boot crampons up the final summit ridge. Day 3 and the third and final summit of this trip is finally taken!
