Beautifull photo!

Wich date did you make this picture of the frendo spur? The conditions look perfect on this last pitch.

And you where very fast? Because of the sunrise.

I really like all your pictures of the Mont Blanc area.

Greetz, Jurgen

Hi Jurgen
Itwas taekn last summer in august I think. It had snowed the day before so that is why the last pitch maylook so nice but infact it was horrible as all this loose fresh snow had to be cleared before you could get any purchase on the ice below
