The Route |
 |
Watching the sun set from the terrace outside the Albert 1er hut |
 |
On the glacier plod up to the start of the route we see the sun coming up onto the Aiguille du Chardonnet |
 |
At about a third of the way up. In the background from left to right are the Chardonnet, the Verte and then Mt Blanc. |
 |
Approaching the Table du Roc, there is a good mantle shelf move to get onto it. |
 |
The top of the Roc made a good spot for a lunch break (even though it's still only 10:30) and a bit of sunbathing. |
 |
Looking back down at the Roc from the little Aiguille above. The Roc is only about two thirds of the way up the route so don't get complacent once you reach it - we did. |
 |
Finally we get to the summit, what a gorgeous day. |
