		That all said, I’m hoping to use this block of racing which included the Classics des Alps yesterday and the Dauphine-Libere that started today, to improve my strength as we march through the month of June and head into crunch time.
		Having the Classics des Alps as your first day back in the saddle after some time off is a tall order.
		I’ve ridden a lot of really challenging prologues this year, and the Dauphine proved to be no exception.

		In 1865, after six unsuccessful attempts to climb the southwestern face of the Matterhorn in Switzerland, he attempted the climb on the eastern face, which then was considered impossible.
		In 1880, he became the first climber to reach the summit of Chimborazo (6,310 m/20,702 ft), the highest peak in Ecuador, located in the Cordillera Oriental range of the Andes.
		Whymper's expeditions are recounted in Scrambles Amongst the Alps in the Years 1860-69 (1871, illustrated by himself) and Travels Amongst the Great Andes of the Equator (1892).

		In 1860, he made extensive forays into the central and western Alps to produce a series of commissioned alpine scenery sketches.
		Among the objects of this tour was the illustration of an unsuccessful attempt made by Professor Bonney's party, to ascend Mont Pelvoux, at that time believed to be the highest peak of the Dauphiné Alps.
		From the summit of Mont Pelvoux, Whymper discovered that it was overtopped by a neighboring peak, subsequently named the Barre des Écrins, which, before the annexation of Savoy added Mont Blanc to the possessions of France, was the highest point in the French Alps.

	Dauphiné Alps
		On the west side of the Cottian Alps, and separated from these by the broad valley of the durance, rises a group of lofty peaks, surpassing them considerably in heights, and almost completely isolated from their neighbours.
		On the south side of the main group another outlying mass, which on one side feeds the chief sources of the Drac, and on the other several short tributaries to the Durance, must also be include4d in this division.
		The only doubt in fixing the limits of the Dauphine Alps is as to the boundary between their northern group and the adjoining mass of the Cottian Alps, It seems that this may be fixed at the Col de Galibier, connecting the chief source of the Durance with the valley of Valloiresin Savoy.

		This session is aimed at a reconnaissance of some passes for the riders who will take part in the Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré or in the Tour of Swizerland, as well as the reconnaissance of the 7th stage of the Critérium (Valloire-Annecy) and the 8th stage of the Tour de France (Le Grand Bornand-Tignes).
