7 am, Sunrise at Lac Blanc, a white lake near the Aiguilles Rouges Climbing spot, in Chamonix. Superb view on the Mont Blanc range

Heading for the refuge du Lac Blanc, we passed this nice rock and couldn't resist to climb it. Nice view on the whole Mont Blanc range from the top (now unfortunately covered in clouds).

Panoramic shot, taken at the Lac Cheserys. With good weather, there are hundreds of tourists spoiling the photograpic scenery :-)

My climbing mate Steven sitting in front of a tent, near the base of Mont Blanc du Tacul. The mountains in the back are the Grandes Jorasses and the Dent du Geant.

This photo was taken on our way down from the snowy ridge from Aiguille du Midi. We climbed the Cosmiques-ridge back up to the Aiguille du Midi later that day.

I took this picture at 5 am, at the Allalinpass, a pass between the Allalinhorn and the Rimpfischhorn at about 3500m. Later that day we climbed Rimpfischhorn.

Nice sun, but heavy mistral wind. I got almost blown away whilst taking this picture. In the right you see my fellow climber PJ and towards the left the area around Aix-en-Provence.

Panoramic shot at the famous Cul de Chien-bouldering section at Fontainebleau. The little rock is called Le Bilboquet, on which normally you may not climb.

I took this panoramic picture at the Vallée des Merveilles, a nice valley in the Parc du Mercantour, famous for it's pre-historic drawings on the rocks.

Due to the lack of Ice-climbing area's here in Belgium, I started training in my appartment :-)
