Pictures
of the Index and summit of the Middle finger.
Though we only did the Thumb of the whole traverse,
some friends of ours did the whole route and we took some pictures
of them as they climbed the second pitch of the Index and the
summit of the Middle finger.
Hopefully they will send us some pictures from their
climb to complete this article.
This is the second pitch of the Index finger (13th pitch
if you count the rappels from the Thumb) 45m, III+. There
are people climbing other routes. The route starts where the
2 persons are standing and follows the crack slightly to the
left, to its end, then up and another crack to the left to
the relay. |

The 3 guys on the picture are at the relay of the second
pitch on the Index. They will traverse to the other side of
the Index (45m, III) and then 1 pitch up a chimney around
a boulder, onto the Middle finger (25m, III). Then a 15m pitch
of III to the summit of the Middle finger. |

This is the summit of the Middle finger, with, in the foreground
the summit of the Index. (which you avoid when doing the traverse) |

Three happy guys on top of the Middle finger (2996m), in
the foreground someone on top of the Index. |
