One hardy Chamonix crew couldn't resist getting in some steep & deep turns in off the Aiguiile du Midi following last weeks snowfall.

The crew, made up from Julien Herry, Francesco Civra Dano, Luca Rolli and Davide Capozzi, set off at a frightly 2:30 am from the Aiguille du Midi car park  to make it to the Plan de l'Aiguille at 5:00 am before heading up the near vertical Voie Mallory which landed them on top of the Aiguille du Midi at 12:30!

Solid legs got them down safely afterwards.
