'Dome de la Sache' Recce

Another recce of the Dome de la Sache proved unsuccessful.

Cretes des Platieres

La Linaire des Alpes

Another recce of the Dome de la Sache (3588m) has begun to get the better of my hard earned patience. From a distance it looks like an easy mountain to climb, but as you get closer, it becomes complex. The Dome de la Sache (3588m) is not a great distance away from base camp (Lac de Tignes), but the terrain is awkward – scree slopes, low valley floors, and lack of footpaths. The main obstacle appears to be the Cretes des Platieres (gateway to the summit of the Dome de la Sache).
