Tête de cuvée

Today Chloe and I did "Tête de cuvée" on eperon de la route: A very nice, but short (150 meter) route near Monetier. We had originally planned to do 'Du miel est des abeilles', but it was occupied by four very slow moving Italians (I had secretly hoped we could get on Tête de cuvée anyway!). It was a very nice climb, and I freed the aid pitch, so that made me happy. The Italians, meanwhile, were smoking at the belay stations on the adjacent route!
