Pico de Aneto The summit block of the Pico de Aneto is a shark's tooth rising above a small glacier (1985-07-25).

Monte Perdido Monte Perdido lords over the head of the flat-bottomed Ordessa Valley in the Pyrennes (1985-07-15).	Cilindro de Marbore The "cylinder" of Marbore indeed looks like a tree stump in this view from Monte Perdido (1985-07-15).

Pic d'Estats Standing on the highest point in Catalonia, on the border with France. :D We had been walking from Refugi de Vall Ferrera since 3:40 AM, so it was nice to finally get here around midday! Definitely an exhausting climb, we had to make extensive use of ice axe and crampons on some steep ascents (2019-06-17). Photo by Iona Feldman. Click here for larger-size photo.
Pic de Néouvielle Pic de Néouvielle as seen from Lac d'Aubert (2148 m). The summit is in the center background (2018-09-22). Photo by Timo Fleig. Click here for larger-size photo.
