| climbit | Route Climbed: Arete Cosmiques Date Climbed: Sep 14,15  | |
| Climbed the upper ridge with Marco and Alberto on the morning of the 14th then climbed the lower ridge back to the Refuge on the afternoon of the 15th after climbing the Tacul Glacier route. Excellent stuff. Wonderful weather on the Midi Glacier plain. Loved the fixed, hand-tied etrier on the 5.10 crux pitch... I guess that makes it 5.7 A1 YDS, no? | |

| After a snowy night in a tent on the glacier we were lucky enough to have 2 or 3 hours of acceptable weather to climb this short but superb route | |

| Chamonix Man | Route Climbed: Cosmiques Arrete Date Climbed: August 2001 | |
| A great climb in rotten conditions: there had been snow fall that morning and visibility was down to 15 metres. As a result it took a long time but it was worth it. Slept in the Cable-car station (great altitude training!) | |

| Great little mixed route. Good into for one wanting to try their hand at mixed climbing. Too bad the route is so short. | |

| LuisCandeias | Route Climbed: traversée de la vallée blanche Date Climbed: August 2000 | |
| Climbed with a large group of beginners and two guides. The purpose was initiation to mountaineering, so we did it the long and slow way, all the way from Montenvers. After two days walking it was strange to meet all the tourists that arrive by cable car. Fun and easy ice+snow plod. | |

| phillinley | Route Climbed: Valley Blanche Date Climbed: July 14 2002 | |
| Left from the Italian side of the lifts and marched across the valley in an almost total whiteout after a foot and a half of snow had fallen the following night. The glacier was very alive that day. The ridge was fairly treacherous on the way to the Midi given the new snow. | |

| El Tigre Valderrama | Route Climbed: Arete des Cosmiques / S-W Ridge Date Climbed: Summer 2001 | |
| This is one of the best routes I have done, together with the Cabeza de Condor in Bolivia and the Nevado de Toluca in Mexico. March 21, 2003: repeated the ridge with Thomas J. Fralich. Still one of my favorite routes | |

| dirkclaessen | Route Climbed: South face, Rebuffat route Date Climbed: July 1990 | |
| This is a real beauty! One of the most beautiful rock routes in the aiguilles around Chamonix. Must do! Try to avoid the main season because of the crowd. | ||

| Ideal route to learn your business. Mostly overcrowded. Atmosphere because of the beautiful view into the Chamonix valley. | ||

| UlrichPrinz | Route Climbed: South face: Rebuffat Date Climbed: 13 September 1999 | |
| The rebuffat is the standard route on the South Face. The climb is on beautiful granite and the sun makes you forget that you are above 3500m. It is like a crag. | |

| Eelco | Route Climbed: Traverse Aiguille du Midi - Aiguille du Plan Date Climbed: july 1999 | |
| We started with the intention to traverse the whole chian of Chamonix Aiguiless, but we stranded after de Plan. An other time perhaps! | ||

| Gui Lemmens | Route Climbed: Traversée Midi - Plan Date Climbed: 1986 | |
| Superbe climb with fantastic views on the mont blanc and other famous peaks in the massif. Often lots of climbers who aren't always very experienced. Not easy : AD in snow, ice and roc Classique route above Chamonix. It was my first climb in the region. I was very impressed | |
