By the rules of the game I am an older JONG and couldn't think of any stupid questions, so I'll throw up some shots of our spring trip in Chamonix.
No action shots as I was either following the leader staying away from crevasses or taking pics during group stops. Will return with better TR's from Cham later.
And a word of thanks to Telepathetic and Idris for the local info and advice.

The glacier definitely looks being filled in way more than when we hit it last January. Thanks for sharing.

edgDo you realize that you've just posted an admission of ignorance so breathtaking that it disqualifies you from commenting on any political or economic threads from here on out?
