To see where i took the picture follow this link: http://www.snowplaza.nl/Images/Panos/Big/10271.jpg On the right side of this map you see ''TSD Marquis'' From here I took the photo towards the west with a 12x zoom. The location is just south-east of St Francois Longchamp 1650 Greets, Lodewijk

In the movie "The White Tower" (James Ramsey Ullman), this mountain was used as the peak that Glenn Ford, Vali, and Lloyd Bridges sought to climb in the 1950s.

	Hasn't voted	wow ,that's interesting. But are you sure you don't mean the Aiguille d'Argentiere located in the Mont Blanc group, which is far better known and almost 1000m higher? http://www.summitpost.org/mountain/rock/150684/aiguille-d-argenti-re.html Thanks for the info and for passing by though. Cheers, Lodewijk

"So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life." --Peter Gibbons (Office Space)
