Cosmiques Arete, mid July and 31 August 2005

Dan and Janine Patitucci and Barbara and Steve Elia

Dan and Janine Patitucci and Barbara and Steve Elia came over this summer to do some climbing and shooting. It was a lot of fun hanging with this group. Although we didn’t always have the best weather, we got a fair amount done.

Photo #1: This is totally a posed photo, but it was sure fun to see if I could climb up to the top of this teeny and exposed tower on the ArĂȘte des Cosmiques.

Photo #2: This is a real shot. I was short roping Janine and Barbara (thanks for your patience) and Dan said stop right there. He got a cool shot framed by the rocks.

Photo #3: The rock pillars midway through the ArĂȘte des Cosmiques are beautiful. They jut up strikingly and are a warm golden color. Often the views are amazing of the whole Mt. Blanc Range , but not today. These photos were taken by Dan. Aren’t they amazing. Check out www.patitucciphoto.com
