| ZeroFC | Long day Date Climbed: Sep 7, 2012 | |
| Free solo ascent made on the morning of Sept. 7th. From speaking to the staff at the Refuges Des Cosmiques, no one had summited this route in nearly 2 weeks due to a high avalanche risk advisory in effect and new crevice formations which were deemed difficult to spot because of fresh snow. Close to 100 climbers at the refuge, 8 of us set out and 6 (4 person team and two soloists) of us made it to the summit. It took nearly 12 hours to summit(2pm) - there was no trail after Mont Blanc du Tacul and we took a vertical ice climb through Mt. Maudit. I took another 12 hours going down the Gouter route till I arrived in the Chamonix Valley (2am) in one giant 24 hour effort. | ||

| Climbed via Tacul and Maudit. It was very cold, early in the morning high on the mountain, but later it turned out to be a beautiful day. | |

| I guided my boss from work over this route, starting on the Gouter and finishing on Aig Du Midi. We camped on the col between Mont Maudit and the Tacul to shorten what otherwise would have been a very long day. A lovely experience. | |

| Martina Marmoška | Finally at Blanc :-) Date Climbed: Sep 12, 2010 | |
| After non successful try over Gouter and Gonella...this is very nice route. It was clear but very cold, during the descent we had a front in the back...when we reached Midi again, started heavy snowing. | |

| FabienenCordoba | Very nice route Date Climbed: Jul 31, 2010 | |
| I was anticipating a somewhat boring slog but the 3 mounts traverse is in fact varied and interesting with some technical (albeit very manageable) difficulties. THere was a bit ladder put up on the bergshrund of the Mont Blanc du Tacul. Ice on the slope below the shoulder of the Mont Maudit. | |

| nattfodd | Soloed on beautiful day Date Climbed: Aug 30, 2009 | |
| Ok to solo, I had beautiful conditions (except some winds) but was quite slow. The last bit is torture, but the view from the summit is worth it all. Descent via the goûter, long and boring except for the bosses ridge and the scramble below the refuge. | |

| [X] Bird | View as white as the mountain itself Date Climbed: Jul 30, 2008 | |
| Left our bivi at the Col Midi at 01:30h at night, half an hour before the masses from the Cosmique hut. Thus no problems with crowds at the icewall before Col Mont Maudit. Saw a beautyfull sunrise at the Col De La Brenva. From there on we walked into the clouds surrounding the summit. The view was so 'interesting' we did not stay long at the summit. Went back the same way. | |

| forjan | Windy! Date Climbed: Jul 22, 2008 | |
| Climbed the 3M's route with David Valdes. Sunny day but very windy and cold. We camped at Valle Blanche just below Aiguille du Midi. Took us approx 15 hrs camp-to-camp as we had less than twelve hrs to acclimatize. Awesome views all the way! | |
