A spectacular original vintage poster showing two climbers on the famous Epée du Tacul in the Mont Blanc massif near Chamonix in the French Alps. The text reads: 'Une cordée à l'assaut de l'Epée du Tacul' ('A roped team attacking the Tacul Sword'). The Epée is one of the narrowest rock needles in the Alps. This poster is from the late 1960s or early 1970s and the climber at the top is said to be the Chamonix guide Jean-Paul Charlet. Size 98cm x 62cm Condition Good. Minor damage at corners and margins.
