Highest High  Sucess!

This was a wild adventure that late in the season on the Aretes Boissons/Dome Du Gouter route. A long story, but basically, bad partner, found a new partner on the mountain who is now a great friend, and we summited on a day when everyone else turned around due to high winds. It was awesome!

My personal highest peak... for now.  Sucess!

I planned to climb this mountain for 2 years after a year of training and focus I did it! It was a good climb but if I did it again I'd do it from the Aiguille du Midi. Too many people on the Gouter Route and quite a few inexperienced unprepared climbers as well.

Route: 3 Mounts Traverse  Sucess!

Very nice and easy route with some nice "climbing" on ice to get to the Col Maudit. Bugger we summited in clouds with a 10m view. I'll be back...

My favourite mountain  Sucess!

I failed on the mountain 4 times before 1st of 5 subsequent successful ascents between 1984 and 2009. I have climbed Brenva face, traversed the mountain from Gouter to Midi - and finally solo'd the Gouter route in 2009. I would like to climb it a 6th time - this time via the Val Veni and Aiguille Grises route on the Italian side.

Traverse 3 Monts to Gouter Route  Sucess!

Not sure about the exact date - I remember that I ran the Ultra Trail Mont Blanc then waited a few days because of foul weather and headed up to Aguille du Midi as soon as the skies were about to clear. Started with another guy whom I met on Col du Midi at 4 am but soon he withdrew because of high avalanche danger and problems with crevasse crossings. Hard slogging in fresh snow (nobody else on this route that day). Scared the shit out of myself when I broke a big cornice while climbing the Maudit. Got to the summit late in the afternoon and down to Refuge du Gouter at dusk. Hiked down all night and got to Les Houches about 6 am.
All in all 26 hours of a real solo adventure on a mountain that is told to be overcrowded.

By the Gouter route  Sucess!

First alpine experience, which was great! 2-day ascent with a stop-over at Gouter hut. Pretty good pace of 3.5 hours to summit from Gouter hut and back for the noon train.

Beautifull conditions  Sucess!

After 3 times with no success due to bad weather, the fourth time was absolute fantastic. Blue sky and good conditions. In 6 hours from Tete Rousse, we left at 4.30 to the summit and back to the Gouter to stay the night and leave next morning back to the Nid d'aguile.
