| ...we went up to the Aiguille du Midi and took the cable car down to the Pointe Hellbronner. I liked the snow arete very much. Would like to come back one day and climb via the Frendo Spur. | |

| markhallam | I can count ONE ascent! Date Climbed: Jun 1, 1989 | |
| Since the first time in 1978 I have been up the magnificent cableway many times. However in 1989 I guided a work colleague round the 'trois monts' traverse of Mont Blanc, going in the opposite direction to most - so we finished on the Aig du Midi - so I count that as having climbed it! | |

| markthejock | Frendo spur Date Climbed: Jun 27, 2011 | |
| A bivvy near the midway station and a 3am start ensured we were first on the route, with the best conditions possible. Very mild overnight so snow still quite soft with several large avalanches throughout the morning. Summited approx midday. | |

| mooliczek | Arete des Cosmiques Date Climbed: Jul 22, 2011 | |
| Two attempts: The first one - 19/07/2011 Started in the early afternoon, during the blizzard: no footsteps, no other teams on the route, it was like going into nowhere, actually. Have lost much time on routefinding. After several hours, we arrived in front of the crux slab (4c), full covered with ice and snow. The time is the killer - it was too late to continue. We decided to retreat by Cosmiques couloir. The second one - 22/07/2011 Perfect weather. We climbed up by the Cosmiques couloir again, and have continued the ridge right 'till the end. Beautiful! Classic one. Not to underappreciate. Climbed with Igi and Pawel. Photo gallery - here. | |

| McCannster | lazy way Date Climbed: Jun 1, 2010 | |
| paid the extra 3 euros to take the elevator up to the true summit. With a week of crappy weather preventing us from attemping any of the peaks we wanted to do (Dufour and Blanc), it was nice to still be able to get really high up. -6 C up at the top, overcast but great views. | |

| Simnel | As a variation | |
| of the Cosmique arete. I was not too well after an awful night in the Cosmique Hut ..nausea/vomiting/headache/mild AMS..in the mornining i started but backed off the Cosmique Arete very early leaving my climbing partners to complete the climb. I ascendedthe ridge back to the station. | |
