| [X] Bird | Traverse from the Pigne de Arolla  Date Climbed: Jul 16, 2009 | |
| Did the Pigne de Arolla - Mont Blanc du Cheilon traverse. So we climbed up via the east ridge (first snow then rock) where I dropped my camera :( and descent via the normal route. For me it was the second time I climbed it :) Read the guide book properly before you climb the east ridge so you know where you should stay on the ridge and where not. A very beautiful but long tour. | |

| virginiapine | High winds & new snow Date Climbed: Sep 6, 2007 | |
| Solo climb of normal route from Cab. de Dix. Strong N wind at and above Col de Cheilon (gusts of 90km/hr) and several cm of new snow made it a worthy challenge. Interesting technical moves just a few meters from the summit... Started at 5AM and back at hut at 11AM. | |

| Nikman | West ridge Date Climbed: Jul 8, 2007 | |
| I climbed the west ridge with Sebastian. Nice sharp and exposed ridge at the end. Nice views. The day started clear, but turned into bad weather, but we were already back at the hut, when it started to rain. | |

| Lortnoc | Too bad Date Climbed: Nov 6, 2006 | |
| Turned back a few meters before the summit because of a combination tricky snow conditions, lack of time and approaching bad weather. | |

| [X] Bird | W ridge and SW ridge Date Climbed: Aug 1, 2006 | |
| Really nice tour, we did not do the normal route because there were to much cravesses so we took the west ridge to hook up with the normal route at the place were the rocky part of the SW ridge starts. Some rain and clouds on the way back while descending the west ridge again. No navigational problems possible since the route is too easy to find, compared to the normal route accross the galcier in clouds. | |

| We were intending on traversing the peak but there were scary cornices and the east ridge was snowed up so we made do with the normal route; it was a really nice climb | ||

| October 2005 was exceptionally warm... the snow on the higher slopes of the Cheillon was often so soft that we sunk into it upto our knees. Despite, we had a good but long day on the mountain. | |

| From the Dix hut with the boys from Speyside we had a fine traverse of the Cheilon which was my first Swiss mountain. Very enjoyable day out with a return for a second night at Dix. | ||

| Climbed with Monica Spicker. About 8 inches of new snow on the peak - made the climbing on the SW Ridge a bit challenging in places. | |
