Aiguille du Midi - Plan de l'Aiguille

Walked from Chamonix to Plan de l'Aiguille, then took the Cable Car to Aiguille du Midi. Boarded the Cable Car back to Plan de l'Aiguille and walked down to Chamonix.

My first Alpine Route  Sucess!

Pleasant approach, spent the night in the Refuge and climbed just before day break. Repeated a few years later with Richard Perry.

Fascinating experience  Sucess!

Definitely felt the effects of altitude, but the weather was almost perfect and it was a treat to look out at the icy expanse. Took time to ponder the feat of engineering that brought me to this summit, which would probably not be allowed today.

Cheated  Sucess!

Took the tram, then elevator, after skiing at Les Grands Montets. I don't really even know why I'm checking in here. Views were incredible - so were the crowds.

Again  Sucess!

Less than 2 months later the route was super dry and we did it all in boots.

Cosmiques ridge  Sucess!

A lucky day of good weather and an unexpected climb as we were climbing some thing else the day before but did not catch the last cable car. Fun traverse.

via arete cosmiques  Sucess!

Did in conjunction with Pointes Lachenal. This was great, but a little harder than I had been led to believe. Some very exposed moves on skethcy snow with no handholds.

South face  Sucess!

A classic training ground. Climbed it many times by different routes of which the Rebuffat five times, once with Jean Afanassieff, abseiling from the top and getting up in one hour! Another time, in 1964, I was caught in a huge storm, transforming the route in less than one hour in a snow climb on the 75/80° slabs. We nearly froze to death as we only had shirts but got out on own own.

After the Mont Blanc du Tacul  Sucess!

...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.

I can count ONE ascent!  Sucess!

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!

Frendo spur  Sucess!

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.
