Day 5 part deux

Sorry bad WiFi now I've moved to the campsite so have been unable to complete the story of day 5 with the intended pictures.

Will try again now as it's ridiculous o'clock and the rest of the campsite are still sleeping lulled by the sound of distant thunder.

From the wolf's teeth we jump forwarded to the standard start cylinder on the smaller ridge just short of Annecy and the airspace.  Usually not worth stopping here if going south unless you get an absolute rocket of a thermal. Next step is to cross the lake to the Pic de boef spine back ridge, or to the front semnoz ridge if doing the larger circuit.

Here it's best to stay above the spine back for the best lift stopping only occasionally at the break points for enough of a thermal to just keep you above the top of the ridge.  Normally from here you would jump the gap to the south to the next set of ridges or alternatively forward through the gully to the semnoz ridge.

The big boys come and stop play...
