While spring is well underway in the valleys, higher up in the mountains, it is just beginning. The average temperature is warming, the snow cover is receding and nature is beginning to bloom. This was evident on a recent 3 day camping trip in the Capcir region above Les Angles. The weather was mixed. Warm and sunny at times with cold, grey spells.

Day 2 was an attempt to summit Pic Carlit via a high level ridge route. The summit was never reached due to snow conditions on the final approach and worsening weather.
