The summit platform of the Aiguille du Midi, above Chamonix, is a superb place to watch and take pictures of alpine climbers in action, as well as enjoy the magnificent scenery all around. I was enthralled to watch this young couple scramble on to the rocky table to pose for their picture. And right in front of Mont Blanc!... and a 1000ft drop on either side! ...what a setting!
