28th June.
A warm night with some cloud. The cloud cleared fast but it remained hazy and it was hot in the afternoon.
I did my normal trick of loosing the path this morning but being pig-headed I kept on up through the trees and rocks assuming I knew where I was going.

| Looking down, I should have been further to the right |
After some confused wandering I just decided to go up to the ridge and then follow it to the coll.

| Looking down to where I should have been |
When I got to the point I was aiming for it was in fact about 200 meters higher than I needed to be and needed some careful descending to reach the correct place.

| Gun emplacement |
There are some old gun emplacements that Franco put in after the end of the war that guard this pass.

The path goes round the Lac de Ruis before dropping steadily down the valley.

| The Refugi at the far side of the dam |
The Refugi is reached by climbing round a couple of gullies to the head of the next valley involving some steep ascents and descents before arriving above the dam with the Refugi on the other side.
