The second picture is the upper third of the North Face of the Drus. This is one of the six classic north faces of the Alps. The last picture has Carter taking a break from a challenging tele descent. The peak in the background is the Aiguille du Chardonnet. I climbed it in 1976 (North Spur) with my South African friend Richard.
We actually worked harder than we wanted to on this first day in the Alps.
