Quite one of the most beautiful mountains in the world I think. If you look carefully you can just pick out the Refuge Soreiller at the base of the spire, at about 2700m high. The face rises 400m behind it, quite lovely. This picture was taken from the floor of the high alpine valley below it. To get to the refuge is a long 1200m climb, but the views are absolutely magnificent. I'll come back and climb it some day.
