Hi guys! I write in english because my "french-writing" skills are terrible... I've been in the week-end with some friends to climb the goulotte Boivin at Dom de neige, NW face. But due to fog and darkness in the morning we attacked the wrong goulotte, the first on the right of the Boivin. We rappelled down only after 100 meter easy snow/ice and 3 thin ice pitches, because of a snow-bouchon and increasing difficulty. I just wanted to warn other peolpe of this, to prevent them to follow our wrong "path" in the snow. Anyway I could also say that conditions in Boivin are good, with a lot of ice (just "de visu"). Sowshoes are not fundamental. Lots of people went ski-touring to Col des Ecrins on sunday, therefore good track for the way back too. Thanks for your great job! Carlo
