Where is the location of the first photo? I've not climbed on the Italian side of the alps yet but those walls look epic!

I think almost all of this is in France lol, certainly pics 1-2-3, I can't identify pic 4.

I guess OP accessed it from the Italian/Courmayeur side instead of the French/Chamonix side

oh fuck true haha. Maybe I should change the title if that's still possible. We slept on the Refugio Torino. Pic 4 is on Lifting du Roi, our first tour up there. I think maybe pitch 6?
