Aiguille du Tour via Arête de la Table

Mountaineering, Alpine Climbing in ChamonixWe had Swedish ex-ice hockey pro, Patric Kjellberg, here a couple of weeks ago doing a nine day Alpine Climbing Course with Chamonix Experience guide Octavio Defazio. Patric started his mountaineering career from scratch this week but with a high level of fitness he made fast progress.

He wants to build his mountaineering experience step by step and starting with Chamonix Experience’s Alpine Climbing Course is a good beginning. This course is an ideal base for anyone who wishes to learn skills for future climbing, whether the goal is the great peaks of the Himalayas or mellow glacier treks in the Alps.    (more…)

Mont Blanc 17-22 August 2008

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.
