Aiguille de Bionnassay NW face

The vast NW face of Aiguille de Bionnassay (4.052 m / 13,293 ft) seen from near Refuge de l'Aiguille de Goûter (3.817 m / 12,522 ft). This thousand-meter wall offers some routes graded between AD/AD+ and D+, like Left-hand Route direct (to the left of the rocky shoulder to the right in the pic). 14 August 2001.

Hey man, nice shot

4 stars, Diego......very impressive wall. Did you use a digital camera, or 35mm?

Re: Hey man, nice shot

Thank you very much, Dana. Yes, it's a very impressive wall, I don't imagine how are other faces in Alaska, some areas of the Canadian Rockies, Andes and Asia ridges (like Ruwensori, Himalaya, Karakorum, Pamir, Tien Shan and others). But this is a striking face, also Aiguille de Bionnassay is a great objective regardless of the route that you choose and the approaches are long.

I used a reflex camera so I still haven't a digital camera. I think they are a little bit dear but I hope they'll come down in the future...
