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!

    Petite Verte summit AmcC & AK.jpg
    The Bossons Glacier reaches nearly all the way down into Chamonix Valley. The first ever successful ascent followed the rock to the right, and then traversed the top of the glacier.
    3 Monts traverse. The start point - Auguille du Midi - is out of shot to the left, along with the first Mont - Mt Blanc du Tacul. Mt Maudit is visible here to the left of Mt Blanc. The full traverse continues down the Bosses Ridge and over the Dome du Gouter, but we reversed our route after the summit.
