The Pointe Percée is the highest mountain (2753m) in the Aravis range of the French Prealps in Haute-Savoie.
It is a peak that has been on my horizon (so to speak) for a very long time.
Rising like a needle, Pointe Percée is a fairly intimidating rock. However, there is a route up there that requires no special climbing gear (although a helmet is a good thing to have).
It took us eight and a half hours to summit and return, with half an hour of that sitting on the terrace of the refuge drinking beers on the way back.
