L'Évêque, Alpine summit in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, France.
L'Évêque rises to an elevation of 3469 meters between the Charpoua Glacier to the west and the Talèfre Glacier to the east in the Mont Blanc massif.
The first recorded ascent of this mountain peak was accomplished by Ellis Carr, Charles, Mary, Miss Pasteur, and Claude Wilson on August 7, 1892.
The name of this peak belongs to a group of needles with religious denominations, including the Cardinal, the Altar Boy, and the Nun.
The Charpoua mountain refuge, located at the western base of the summit, serves as a starting point for mountaineers planning their ascent.
This mountain forms part of the rocky ridge descending from the Aiguille Verte, creating a sequence of peaks with distinct geometric shapes.
