Aug 2019 - Ascent from Col de la Colombière. Another stunningly sunny day. A quick ascent from the Col de la Colombière across scree brought me into a huge glacial bowl from where I could see the Col du Rasoir (Razor’s Pass), between the Pic de Jallouvre and Pointe Blanche. When I’d eventually climbed up to it, the ridge was enjoyable and reminiscent of Striding Edge, only shorter. Just as I’d started crossing it a magnificent Golden Eagle took off from it and flew across to the Pointe Blanche. The video sort of captures this. It was awesome to see and so big. The trail leading up to the summit was very steep but fun. Great views over the Aravis with Pointe Percee looking amazing. Northwards, Lake Geneva could be seen.
