That's in Chamonix. Was climbing from the valley floor up to Brevent. Hard climbing solo but plenty of fun :D Across the valley is Guile du Midi and the infamous Mont Blanc. I REALLY REALLY wanted to solo climb to Mont Blanc...but they lose a climber a day on average there and I was alone so crossing the glacier/icefall was probably more dangerous than playing Russian roulette with a normal pistol

Especially in the middle of winter. Talk about full whiteouts coming outta no where.
If I can be bothered later tonight I'll try and load up some more panoramic

I thought so, the valley on the rite side of the pic is the Rhone valley in Switzerland, I was born there, I used to fly sail planes in the area, I did a lot of trekking in the Swiss alpes when I was a bit younger and yes that was one of the best feeling ever, did a lot of ski as well but never went to Mont Blanc! Very nice pic.......... remind me of a lot of good memories!
