Early morning at 3400 m. |
At the ridge; the terrain is steeper than it seems at first glance. |
The view is broadening: Grand Combin, and behind it, Mont Blanc. |
The last pitch is exposed but easy. |
An unusual view of Matterhorn. |
The same again, this time with successful climber (unfortunately obscuring the beautiful crest ;-). |
Dent Blanche, Weisshorn and many other old friends. | |
Far view to all directions: westward (Tête de Valpelline) |
Deep below us: Lac de Place Moulin. |
The cloud in the lee of the summit crest creates a unique atmosphere. The summit seen from 3300 m. |
Back to reality: Climbing down the scree flank. |
Far away again, our last view back. |
