Thinking of ways to start the new book it seemed appropriate to use a brain…. a big plastic one !

Call of the Yeti – Plan de l’Aiguille

Coming to your desk soon ! Call of the yeti. It took me all my powers of persuasion to get my girlfriend into the yeti suit… standing on the cable car is another story though…

Call of the Yeti – Dent du Geant

The Mer de Glace glacier under Mont Blanc is full of crevasses. We had to ‘rope up’ the yeti to be sure it didn’t disappear through a weak snow bridge. What you can’t see here is the rope leading to a very sturdy mountain guide with his ice axe buried deep enough to arrest a fall. The Mer de Glace area its self isn’t that remote, it’s serviced by Europe’s highest cable car Call of the Yeti – Plan de l’Aiguille which transports tourists to the top of the Aiguille di Midi and the mountaineers who come to explore the Mont Blanc Massif . On our journey back to the cable car we passed a few groups of alpinists. We were all roped up so as not to fall off anything. Martha chose to leave the yeti costume on for warmth…… it looked like the mythical yeti had finally been caught !

Call of the Yeti – Orthaz Rock

The morning light was just breaking over the mountain tops. The Yeti was poised. I was just about to shoot when a friend cycled past, it was Trey coming home from a party to celebrate his return from K2. He was laughing so much he nearly fell off his bike !
