| Samuli Mansikka | Couloir Whymper Date Climbed: Jun 22, 2007 | |
| Absolutely one of my favorite climbs ever! Had to wait a few days for the snow conditions to improve but the conditions ended up being pretty good. Eventually climbed (solo) from Couvercle Hut to the summit of Grand Rocheuse in 4,5 hrs. From there I had the most beautiful view over the summit of Aiguille Verte which I half an hour later reached by the knife-edge ridge with the rising sun hitting it at the same time. What an experience!! Photos at www.samulimansikka.com | |

| kabernicola | Route Climbed: Couloir Couturier Date Climbed: July 18th 1999 | |
| Climbed with Legañoso and Bolo. Starting up at 00:00 hrs, from Grand Montets Cable Car upper station and spending 14 hours to reach the Montenvers railway station. We did 15 rapells to descend by the Grand Rocheuse Spur. Perfect conditions and great weather | |

| Chamonix Man | Route Climbed: Whymper Couloir Date Climbed: 17 June 2004 | |
| We left the hut at 0030 and were at the base of the couloir in two hours. Four and a half hours later we were at the summit in the morning sun. The descent involved 14 rappels down the couloir itself and we found our self at the bottom of the couloir at 1200hrs. The walk back to the hut was difficult in deep snow which had been previously frozen. The couloir was in great condition, with Neve snow and patches of ice. We moved together for most of the way. | |

| Rahel Maria Liu | Route Climbed: Northface (Couloir Couturier) Date Climbed: March 2001 | |
| How silly that we went along the foot of the Northface at avalanche grade 4!! .... So instead of climbing the Couloir Couturier and going down through the Whymper Couloir (planned partly with ski), we looked at Aiguille d'Argentière - and finally decided to go to the end of the glacier d'Argentiere and to try our luck overthere .... The third day, I finally gave it up to jump about around in the fog and snowstorm although Ulli and Günter still continued trying to become killed by avalanches, icefall and the coldness ;o). So I went down alone by ski to Argentière - and got nearly killed as well by almost having fallen in a big crevasse which I did not saw because of the fog :o( .... Having reached Argentière finally, I recognized that the battery of my handy was totally empty (because of the extreme coldness) .... so I would probably not have gotten any help if I had fallen into that crevasse :o(, although I still had a very loud pea-whistle with me... :o). | |
