Fallback trip in the snow, not having been able to go yesterday in the sun due to his wife's work reasons. There are many avoidable patches of ice, for about 400 m above sea level uphill we went up without crampons, then we put them on and kept them until the refuge. On the way down we still used them up to about 2000 meters then we had to take them off, because they made a clog and every 3x2 we had to stop to remove it (in fact the descent time was the same as the ascent). The 2 fingers of fallen snow forced us to be a bit careful because the patches of ice could no longer be seen. However we returned to the car without damage
