Appreciate the IOC lost its way many years ago but these ticket prices for @Paris2024 #Olympics #Paralympics are disgraceful. 525€ for #athletics, 220€ for #canoe slalom, not even the ‘big’ finals days… just greed and profiteering. 🥇🥈🥉

Recently, @FredDegoulet and I headed out early one morning to climb the Arete SSE of Mont Greuvetta in Val Ferret (1200m, D, V) . This is one of the finest ridges I’ve climbed in the Mont Blanc massif...Another great addition to the guidebook I’m working on.
