A 9000 ft peak, 4 hour ascent, navigating through snow and fog! That's one way to capture a portal :-)

Objective : build the highest european 8 level resistant portal (2857m - 9373ft)
Date : october 6 2013
Portal : http://www.ingress.com/intel?ll=45.039537,5.92412&z=17&pll=45.039537,5.92412
Agents involved (on 4 different french mobile network operators):
- BattleRoyale (L6)
- Flow127 (L8)
- franckybear (L8)
- garstud (L8)
- StanMarsh (L8)
- swiip (L8)
Report :
The journey :
Resistants agents came from Lyon and Grenoble to meet up at the Poursolet lake at 10:40am.
Then begin a 4 hours ascent to reach the top of the taillefer peak, location of the “Saint Eloi” portal. Agents had to walk through forest (full of tasty wild BLUEberries), alpine thundra then rocks, in order to have the portal in range.
When they arrived on top, above the clouds, the GSM signal was poor, but hopefully, one of us got a better signal and did tethering with other agent to successfully deploy resonators.
Phase 1 :
As we were not enough L8 players, we had put a Jarvis virus on the portal, then our L6 player realign with an Ada refactor, then L8 players deploy again to upgrade portal to level 8.
We put 3 VR multihack and 1 VR heatsink, so each agents can do 28 hacks in less than 45 minutes
Phase 2 :
We realign again the portal with a jarvis virus, then we neutralized the portal.
We do the same operation as Phase 1 except this time, we make sure all players will have a resonator with their name on it and finally put 4 VR portal shields.
End :
To celebrate this success, we toast with VEP green chartreuse, then as it began to snow, we had to leave the peak and walk for a 2 hours descent in the fog.
A bit of history :
- “Saint Eloi” (also Saint Eligius or Eloy or Loye) is the patron saint of blacksmiths
- The statue was erect on April 3, 1998 by french army, made with old armor of tanks, it weighs 110kg - 220lbs
