Aiguilles de Chamonix
This is part of the utterly majestic Aiguilles de Chamonix, unanimously recognized among the most stunning and elegant walls of the Alps!
Picture taken at sunset. The passing helicopter can offer a sense of scale.
In detail, on the left you can see the mythic southwest pillar of the Aiguille du Dru, climbed from 17-22 August 1955 by the italian alpinist Walter Bonatti (recently passed away) in a very difficult solo route.
On the right we have the Aiguille de l'M, going up to les Petits Charmoz.
These are towers of granite, rich in history and ripe with hundreds of superb alpine routes. This is the domain of the alpinist, also a true "forbidden" gateway to the huge and high glaciers of the Mont Blanc massif.
Silent walls of a majestic kingdom.
