We were approaching the vallot refuge before 7am. You can see it in the background behind me. The vallot is a basic emergency shelter and was built to be used as such. Over the years however it had been used as a doss house and toilet so it really was in a state. It looks like it has been cleaned up inside and there is now an eco toilet as well. I didn't venture in though. We stopped for a decent rest and some food. We could see the summit now and we all seemed to be holding up well. A few eastern europeans shuffled around behind us in what looked like moulded clay clogs. The mont blanc circus show was now beginning but the best acts would be saved for the grand finale.
