Chamonix Experience climb Mont Blanc course the 17th to the 22nd of August was guided by Dave and JP. Climbers were Claire, Mark, Erin, James, Niels, Joachim and Tim. They had a great trip up to the Albert 1er hut and the Aiguille du Tour, for which the weather was nice. Climbing and scrambling on the rocks above the hut and reaching the summit of Aiguille du Tour was great mountaineering training. Unfortunately the weather was a little unstable towards the end of the week and only Joachim and Mark reached the summit of Mont Blanc. Erin, James and Tim decided to climb Mont Blanc du Tacul 4248m instead.

We had three strong climbers, Sean, Rachel and Richard and two Chamonix Experience guides, Jerome and Julien who all climbed Mont Blanc together on the 15th and 16th of July. The stable weather and the physical strength of the group allowed them to do the summit attempt in a slightly different way than normal. They went all the way from the Tramway at Nid d’Aigle, 2372m, past the Gouter hut and straight up to the summit of Mont Blanc 4807m, in one day to then return to the Gouter hut in the evening for a good sleep.

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.

Despite that, the group led by Chamonix Experience guide Sebastien pretty much managed to stick to the programme. They walked up to the Albert 1er refuge in the mist and did a snowy and windy ascent of the Aiguille du Tour. (more…)
