Ailefroide 2003
Well, it's mainly pictures of the Glacier Blanc, as I lost my camera after climbing the Dôme (or Dôme de Neige des Ecrins to give it its full name), but there's a few good ones there.
This season in Ailefroide the heatwave melted most of the snow off the mountains, to see how bad it is you can check out this comparison.
