I've updated my profile picture as well : Gypaète Barbue

Re: Nice...

Thanks, it was a fun ascent but very easy - only a Facile. The night before the weather looked like it would prevent us from reaching the summit - but we got lucky! I like your bird pictures by the way - what sort of a lens do use for them?

Re: Nice...

I used a basic 70-300m Sigma Lens on a Nikon D80 camera. I was pleased with the way it came out. Thanks for your vote !

Re: Nice...

Thanks, I splashed out on a Canon 40D last Christmas and am still feeling my way around it. I have a 70-300m Sigma too, managed to get some nice puffin photos on it back in May, I might post them some day... if I ever get round to creating a page for the spot I was in that is.

Re: Nice one

Thanks Charles, I have to say it's a very nice little peak and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We did it by the normal route, next time I’m in the area though I think I might try something a bit harder.
Cheers
