| The terrain is getting higher | Climbing past 7000 feet here | That's not Mont Blanc yet, but I must be getting close |

| 8500 ft and climbing | ||

|
| Finally arriving at Mont Blanc, passing 10000 feet | The sun is rising from behind the mountain... meanwhile I'm struggling to gain altitude, with the collective maxed out around 12000 feet | |

|
| Another helo has landed (or crashed) on the hillside - I'd better pick a more level landing spot | Aiming for that red spot over there | |
|

|
| The Eurocopter still does hover quite well, despite the high altitude | Landing successful! (not 100% accurate, but close enough) | |
