Bivouac in saddle between Pointe Puiseux and Pointe Durrand.

Bivouac in saddle between Pointe Puiseux and Pointe Durrand.
Mont Pelvoux is a mountain with four summits. Between the highest two, Pointe Puiseux en Pointe Durand there is a saddle. It provides just enough flat space for two or three small tents. It is in the centre of a fantastic high mountain atmosphere at an altitude of about 3900m, just below both summits.
The bad thing is that the place is terribly exposed. The wind can be incredible strong, as we found out as soon as the thunderstorm hit. It was like a freight train rolling over the bivouac. We survived.
