In late June, I had a brilliant few days climbing with Mark McCarthy.
We did the North face of the Pain de Sucre d'Envers (the first photo shows the summit ridge) and a couple of days later the Couturier Couloir on the Aiguille Verte. (The second photo shows the view into the Argentiere basin on the evening before the climb).
Both climbs went really well, and we did them in good conditions and very good times. Both climbs were excellent, perhaps the Pain de Sucre was the most atmospheric and it was certainly more interesting from a technical point of view, however this was balanced by the satisfaction of summitting the Aiguille Verte, a mountain I've wanted to climb for some years now.
