Starting out from the Aiguille du Midi. Make sure you swivel it round and check out the cool ice tunnel. Once you've seen the 'orrible arête awaiting you, you'll want to disappear back inside and hide! Copyright ifyouski.com
View back up towards Aiguille du Midi and the dreaded arête. This one's a bit overexposed, but you'll get the idea. Copyright ifyouski.com

The middle section between the Glacier du Geant and the Glacier du Tacul. Snow, sun, skiing. No complaints as long as you brought your sunblock. Copyright ifyouski.com
Phew! Off the glacier it's a ten-minute climb up to the Refuge de Requin, where it's time for a rest and a drink - as long as you have brought some cash. Late in the season you miss this bit as you take the Montenvers train down instead. Copyright ifyouski.com
