Rock climbing in the alps – chamonix
Me leading an F7a+ on the Brevent, Aiguille Rouge, with Mont Blanc in the background
I’m just giving my hard-drive a spring clean and found some photos from a Chamonix climbing trip. Not sure about the year or photographer, but the photo on the Brevent is one of my all time favourites.
The route tops-out near the top cable car station and cafe bar. Which is nice.
The other one standing on top of one of the aiguilettes is a really cracking route above Argentiere, further up the valley. I first climbed it back in the 80’s, and the photo is taken on a repeat a few years ago.
