Simon was keen for a day on the ice and I was keen to climb the last of the main established routes in Ollomont valley that I hadn't climbed which was 'Pat and Gab', especially as it's in great condition at the moment.
'Pat and Gab' 4 pitches, WI4+ Ollomont, Valpelline.
(Pat and Gab - FA Patrick Gabarrou?)
As we were abseiling down the route another team were on the 2nd pitch which is a surprisingly steep pillar!

Fantastic conditions and a great route, maybe the best of the small cluster of established routes in Ollomont and safe from any major avalanche hazards, even with the amount of snow they have over there at the moment.
Safe climbing
