just prior to attempting the aiguille du conville, erm i mean Tour.

summit of the aig. du tour! (PD)
food drop at the albert prem hut.
bivvy above albert premiere before we attempt aig. du passon (AD-).
Mark just after the first abseil from the summit of aig du passon. The route involved navigating across the tour glacier at 4am, climbing up a 50degree couloir (with one axe), which became mixed at the top. The photo above was the difficult bit an unprotectable crack, bold in crampons, well done richard i say, and that is me annoyed that im freezing whilst the others mess around setting up an abseil in the sun.
