Spent a couple weeks around Chamonix climbing in August. Met some neat Polish guys (who took the nicest photos).
Here's one of us rapping down the South face of Aguille du Midi after doing this really neat route voie contamine (you can barely see us if you know where to look)

"Aguille du plan" where we climbed our first week. It looks crumbly but the granite is actually very good on the face.

the North face of the Aguille du midi. Apparently the route up the face is not too bad - i didn't want anything to do with this monster

Mont blanc du tacul - we climbed up the face, fun and not too cold

A little boulder canyon action - I actually did the best sport route yet in CO - some new 5.11 around the corner of nip and tuck - bouldery, techy, and pumpy - with very little straight down pulling, kinda like the granite version of different strokes.

Tania on a cool 5.10 aerate.

The photo that got away, but I like it...

A few of vedauwoo and wild iris. Have some more to add, even capturing rare images of the snake bouldering...

wes pleas stop feeding the snake so much. it seems as though the extra weight is making it hard for him to get on top of those pebbles.

thanks for the vicarious living window. keep'em coming.
