42931. In places the trail is passing a spot on top of a narrow canyon, which can be rather tricky because crampons give little support on the exposed rock.

42949. The rope on top of the last descent, to the valley below the cable car D station. It was de-rigged to prevent use by casual visitors who saw it from below and were tempted to use it to move up at least part of the trail, usually improperly equipped (no crampons and ice-axe), sometimes even without boots, in sneakers. It was late in the day so the photographer unfolded it again for safer descent.
