Video: traverse of Cochues and Belvedere

I think this will grab the attention of all those recently returned from the Alps. The video was shot in the past few days and just broadcast on the French mountain TV show yesterday. The original col that the ski mountaineers access is the one that Stegs, Harry, Dick, and Dave used on their La Buet tour. The ski mountaineers in the video then traverse the Aguille Cochues, which I did with Larry in June 2008, and they end by dropping off the backside of the Col du Belvedere where Carter toured to ten days ago.
