We took the cablelift to l'Aiguille du Midi and then continued by cablelift to Pointe Hellbronner in Italy. After leaving some stuff in refuge Torino, we started the approach. We started quite late in the morning and this seems to haven been a good decision. It wasn't too cold and we didn't see too many other climbers. Most of them leave around five o'clock from the refuge Torino.

The last part. It's a bit strange to find these fixed ropes that actually annoy you more than they help you:

Maria and me on the summit. She has been struck by the lightning quite often:
