Mike and Mark, a day off on the Aiguille du Peigne • 23, 2012

"Guide of Mystery", colleague, friend, and all-around great guy, Mike Powers spent a pleasant day on the Aiguille du Peigne with Mark, a busman's holiday. We climbed the Eperon Minette and continued up to the summit of the Peigne.

Or, perhaps this is the summit.

 

This must be the summit.

 

Heading down, off what we thought was the summit.
