Here are a few of my favourite moments captured in the mountains. Be it skiing, climbing or camping, the sun the wind and the snow fill our senses with all the vastness of the outdoors. So climb high and look far!
We cut a straight line through the powdery snow, which fell only a few days ago. The sky is bright blue

Last stretch before camp!.

Vallon de Kara-Say, Kirghizstan. Au fond du vallon on peut voir un embranchement, à gauche c’est le glacier de Kara-Say Nord, en face, le glacier de Kara-Say Sud.
Two eyes in the sky.
Glacier sans nom 2, sud-ouest de Kara-Say Nord, Ak-Shirak, Kirghizstan. C’est le moment de profiter de la descente, avec une neige encore legère. Au fond les sommets qui bordent la vallée de Kara-Say, d’environ 4500 m d’altitude.
Nico, Sev and Arnaud just getting back from a day’s skiing. Our tent is dwarfed by theice giants all around.
