CHAMONIX, FRANCE

PRETTY MASSIF

By Prapti

#The Aiguille du Midi is one of dozens of peaks in the Mont Blanc massif-its name translates as ‘noon(or middle) needle’

I was in Chamonix with a friend and was so excited to get out and hike. We rose early to take the cable car to the Plan de I’Aigulle at 2,300m. we eventually returned to this point to start our spectacular walk back down to town, but note before taking the second leg off the cable car journey up the mountain; this brought us up and over the Les Pelerins glaciers to the north face of Aiguille du Midi. That’s where I took this photo, while we watched climbers head straight out on to the ice to tackle the ascent towards Mont Blanc. On a clear day, at this elevation of 3,842m, the view of the Alps is unbeatable.” Bronwen Gregory is from Texas, USA, and worked as and adventure travel guide for 13 years.
