The Grande Fourche (3611m) par the West ridge

 

After having crossed the Tour's glacier by night, we are at the bottom of him. A glance on the Tour's peak behind us.

 

 

The nord side of the Argentiere's peak at daybreak

 

 

We gain progressively height on the west ridge. Behind us, the Forbes's ridge of the Chardonnet's peak, and in the background the Droites and the Verte

 

 

The Aiguille d'Argentière in the daylight

 

 

View over the Grande Lui and the Tour noir

 

 

Behind us, the Tour's glacier, the Tour's peak and the plateau of Trient

 

 

Me at the top of the Grande Fourche with in the background on my left : the Droites, and on my right : the Verte and the Forbes' ridge on Chardonnet's peak

 

 

The Chardonnet's pass

 

 

Zoom over the different ways which lead to the Verte and to the Droites...

 

 

A small lake on the Tour's glacier below us

 

 

Zoom of the Emosson's dam in the background

 

 

And we come back on our footprints...

 

 

A few cumulus on the Aiguille d'Argentiere

 

 

And we return to the glacier by crossing the crevasse

 

 

A last glance on the Grande Fourche before going down on the Tour's glacier

 

 

The Forbes' ridge of Chardonnet's peak in the background : it will be for next time !
