Descent pic


Here is another picture from the descent - maybe from 07:00 in the morning from approx. 4 500 m. People are still ascending to the summit over the Petite and Grande Bosses ridge - also known as the "Dromedary Humps". Actually dromedars only have one hump - the nickname originates from an old misunderstanding according to the guidebook.
The big snowy field behind the "Grande Bosses" hump is Dome du Gouter. Doesn't the horizon look a bit curved in the background?
