Hautacam profile.

This might have been one of our nicest days. The rain from the day before cleared, and we had a beautiful sunny day. Just a few km up the Aubisque then we crossed the green carpet of pastureland in the saddle between Aubisque and Soulor. Up a short climb to Col du Soulor, then down down down the valley. Kara and I made a detour into Argeles-Gazost to visit the farmer's market. Then up the next valley, a beautiful river gorge, to Luz-St. Saveur at the base of the Col du Tourmalet.

The extra credit this day was the climb up Hautacam; about a third of our group went for it.
