Aiguille du Midi - Face Sud

This image features not one but two of the most popular, most classic routes in Chamonix: Voie Baquet-Rébuffat and Arête des Cosmiques. With countless granite testpieces and a few obscure lines I rescued from old guidebooks, all doable in a day from the lift, this is the ultimate Chamonix playground.
