    Haute Route Day 4: Pra Fleuri - Dix

    Start with climb to Col de Mourti (2908m) instead of the planned Col des Roux (2804m). This height would give us some decent skiing and help with the southward traverse of the Dix lake. This traverse was however difficult at times, especially having to remove skis and cross avalanche debris/rocks. We were relieved to reach the southern end of the lake where we could start the long couteau-equipped climb to the Dix refuge (2928m). There was a guitar here so that kept me occupied for most of the afternoon - even got a bit of sunburn on my legs.
