Approach to Tour Ronde

Approach to Tour Ronde

After spending the night in the Torino Hut, we crossed the glacier on our way to climb Tour Ronde. This gorgeous sunrise with the moon accompanied us, how sweet is that.

Re: Alpine Starts

Well put Charles. I love the start of alpine climbs, the quiet, the cold fresh air, crampons crunching on the still frozen snow and the excitement what lies ahead.

Aaaaaaa ...

I know I've been forgiven for last time, so
I'll try my best to behave myself.

Is this a Harvest Moon? For some reason, I'm
thinking miles upon miles of wheat fields right now.

Is "Mister Icypeak" aware of your awesome
picture-taking abilities? Nice photograph!!!

Larry :)

Re: Aaaaaaa ...

I am impressed by your good behaviour Larry...well done! But as you likely know, women never entirely forget anything, so any little slip-ups will result in your inbox overflowing with hundreds of huge pics of butterflies.

May I please add ?

It's my sincere belief that this photo is

song !!!
