Thanks Dave. I agree I'm lucky.

Great shot Pierre, what are those lines at the top?

Those lines are big fences made of metal. Their purpose is to prevent avalanches from forming at the top of the mountain. There are several villages on this mountain, all the way down to the main valley. From top to bottom, it's more than 2000 meters high, so even a small avalanche forming at the top could have dramatic consequences once it reaches the lower parts of the mountain.
I wanted to climb on this mountain this Fall, and I still hope to do it if the snow goes away before it's too late. The trail goes right through those fences, so if I'm able to take a good picture of them, I'll show you what it looks like.
