Skiing and climbing photos – galleries from adventures and expeditions

Me starting up the first, balancy pitch (5+). Above to the right continues the route with the famous 6b roof-crack.

Two amazing pitches of 5+/6a, jamming in these two parallell hand cracks, makes us fight, but we are having lots of fun!

Eva almost at the third belay now.

No rest. She is of again, onto the next beautiful crackline. The nice, long and sustained pitches continues.

Hesitating a bit before attacking this tricky chimney-like corner that abruptly ends in a crack too large for both hands and fists. How do you climb this??

Using all body-parts we do get up on the top of the pillar.

To the right of us we watch a party climbing "Destroyer". It is a project for the future not yet in our reach... but looks very tempting.

We continue along the ridge to the top of the Pillar Rouge.

When abseiling we see a second team just finishing the Majorette Thatcher.

Opposite us we the grandiose but intimidating scenery of the north face of Ag. du Midi.
