I'm heading to the Alps in a few weeks (primarily the Ecrin) mainly for cycling reasons but quite keen to bag a couple of peaks too. Done a fair bit of easy stuff before (up to around AD) but not for a few years.
Any suggestions for some easy peaks (even as easy as the Domes des Miages in Cham) that would be in a decent conditions in August. Last time I was there we did the Pic des Agneaux.

Thanks.

I've just found there's a new guidebook since I last went. This should do the job!

Pic de Neige Cordier ? although it was some 20 years ago when I climbed it & I'm not sure what its like nowadays with dissapearing glaciers, etc

We climbed it from the Ref Glacier Blanc, descending to the Ref des Ecrins & climbing the Barre des Ecrins the next day
