I'd say this is "Aiguille du Drus".
"La Dent du Géant" (giant's tooth) is smaller and higher.

Wonderfull picture anyway !

That's right! Can't see the Dent du Géant from Chamonix proper as it's on the other side of the glacier. Beautiful pic OP.

It's one of the background mountains on the Untracked course in SSX Tricky

From my most recent trip to Chamonix. One of my favorite places on Earth.

Shot on Sony A7RIII with Sony 70-200 f 4.0 at 70mm.

What’s most important is the person who wields it. Kudos to you on your great work.

Agreed, a tool is useless without the knowledge of how to use it.

At first glance, my mind went to the Jotunhiem peak from God of War.

I bet there's a chest containing a legendary sword up there.

I once had a Gazelle bicycle named after Chamonix. It was stolen. I'm a Dutchie, and this was to be expected. I now have a bicycle named after Montreux.

Can you see a person climbing up the mountain?

chrisk2799 OP t1_iyic90n wrote

You can often see people climbing and walking on glaciers elsewhere, but in this pic I don’t think there’s anyone

That’s a real place? I thought it was a fictional location in Gran Turismo. TIL!

I'm not a mountaineer, but I reckon that would be a helluva climb!
