Just returned from a week in the Alps, courtesy of Icicle Mountaineering in Chamonix. Had a great week of walking, climbing, via ferrata, glacier travel and which culminated in us summitting Gran Paradiso (4,061m) in Italy.
I’ll write up more details shortly but I’ve posted a selection of photos taken with the new Panasonic LX5 on Picasa here.

Looking up the Mer de Glace glacier
ooh, I say! Some cracking photos there Nigel. We were at Brévent too on the last day of the TMB. It's just a fantastic area and my next port of call will be in the massif itself…
