Strong winds beat the Gigante / Geant glacier. In the background, Aiguilles de Chamonix.

Very nice...

shot. One of my favorites on SP. I can feel the force of the wind and hear it howling. Did you reach the summit?

Re: Very nice...

Thank You!
We were headed at Dente del Gigante and managed to reach the top, but the wind conditions were very tough (another picture from that day is "salle a mangèr" in my photo album).
My mate also had a rib broken, slowing down our return to the hut a lot. We were back around midnight!
A challenging trip indeed...

Tense and Vigorous

A great shot. I love the "otherworldliness" feeling.

Wind

I thing that the wind is the most powerful force in mountains or deserts. This pic shows it strongly.
Are you interested in attaching to Adrenaline Discharge album?

Breeze

This is that I call (in joke, of course) a light breeze.
Really hard conditions!
