Thibaut + David climbing by Refuge de la Balme, with Aiguilles de la Pennaz above
 

climbing on the east side above the Lacs Jovet - (not the easiest route)

Ken on the Pain de Sucre du Mont Tondu, with Domes de Miage, Mont Blanc, Aiguilles des Glaciers beyond
 

view southeast into Italy from Pain de Sucre, the "skier's summit" of Mont Tondu -- to Grivola (?) on left horizon, Gran Paradiso on right horizon, and the giant Glacier du Ruitor in right background
