| I feel bad for signing this log since I took the tram to the top, but I have been to the top, and intend on returning there someday to summit Mont Blanc. So I'll update then. | |

| Gabi, Sev, Nicolas and I came from Zermatt to Chamonix, we picked the telecabine to A. du Midi. We did the climb of the ridge in the early afternoon, with sun and excellent conditions; just in time to pick the last cabine to Torino Hut. A great climb. | |

| Climbed in worsening conditions. Snowed on the last pitch. Tons of snow with so so stability made it interesting. Technical crux definitely not the real crux of the route. | |

| Lots of snow on the ridge. Made the crux somewhat easier. Exit couloir had beautifull climbing. | |

| cresta totalmente priva di neve... praticamente una via di roccia piuttosto che di misto. | |

| Splendid route with stunning views all around. Prepare for signing autographs and tourists taking pictures of you when you climb the final steps to the terrace of the aiguille du midi station... | |

| Climbed the route with a lot of snow on it which actually made the rock climbing a lot simpler than it might have been. Light snow falling and the promise of worsening weather got us climbing faster than we had planned and we finished the route in under three hours from the hut to the ladder. I climbed with guide Michael Silich who did a great job. | |

| Aborted an attempt at the Mont Blanc Traverse because of high winds and climbed l'arete des cosmiques instead. Lots of fun on rock and ice. Managed the Midi-Plan traverse the day before but turned around half way up the rock on Aiguille du Plan because of buzzing rocks. Got T-stormed on the way back to the Cosmiques Refuge. Nice alpine climbs minus the fixed ropes and chipped rock. | |

| Excellent and beautiful ridge. Roland and I started this classic at 09h30am from "Abri Simond" and arrived at 12h00am. We were lucky as very few people were there. Also the weather was perfect, sun and now clouds all along the route, so we enjoyed and admired the great views. An excellent experience ! | |

| This is really a very nice route. I enjoyed the roofsection (there is a sling in place). After the roof the route continues in a straight line to the "summit". Afterwards we climbed the Cosmiques Ridge back to the Telepherique. See also my website HERE. | |

| A splendid route. Be sure to do this route when it is not crowded. That way you will enjoy the route so much more. See also my website HERE. | |
