Mt Blanc in July.

In summer I enrolled in a five day mountaineering course, aimed at climbing Mt Blanc - Europe's highest mountain at 4,807m - via the 3 Monts route. Whilst significantly more vertical than the standard Gouter track, this route is considered more aesthetic. I discovered that in the mountains, this can also mean 'terrifying.' Don't miss the published story of this adventure!

    Mountaineering boots are rigid. This stops crampons falling off them but they're not the most comfortable. I discovered this common injury when I eventually got down. Altitude sickness, cold, exhaustion and sunburn/frostnip, I discovered, are all part of the joys of mountaineering!
