I first climbed Mont Blanc via the Brenva in 1984 and have since traversed it including ascents of Mont Blanc du Tacul, Mont Maudit as well as the usual Aig. de Gouter and Dome de Gouter crossings. I took my wife up during our Honeymoon in 2002 - and then I solo'd the mountain in 2009. I look forward to attempting a 6th ascent some time in the future - maybe via the Aiguille Grises route from Italy.
