Not realy in the dark but at dusk and by moonlight.
Caught the last lift of the day and hung out at the top of the Aiguille du Midi for a while watching the sun slowly sink and the lifties round up all the errant tourists......Walked down the now deserted arete (took me an hour standing in line this morning!) dodged the new holes in the ground and icy steps...Clicked intour gear and glided silently down the tourist route...the sky and the mountains turned some lovely colours....the little hike at the end was a bit icy, followed by an interesting run down the road in the woods by torchlight.
