Pictures of an august trip to the second highest peak of the alps, Monte Rosa (wiki:english, the french wiki has more stuff). Ok, the the highest of Monte Rosa is Dufour Peak, at 4634m., but is also difficult. We made the Zumsteinspitze, 'only' 4563m.
The first two days were just some practicing in the Glacier of Argentière, and the Vallée Blanche (White Valley??). Then the real trip began.
