Mont Blanc 22-27 June

The weather was on our side this week. The first acclimatisation trip up to the Aiguille du Tour gave nice views of the summit. After that we had a glorious day at the Point Lachenal by the Aiguille du Midi, which provides great training ground for alpine climbing.

After that it was time to head up to the Gouter hut for the “big climb.” All four climbers (John, Colin, Pete and Gemma) made it to the summit and had a great day with good weather. Some photos from the summit to be added shortly.
