| nattfodd | Acclimatization before MB traverse  Date Climbed: Aug 29, 2009 | |
| Climbed it to acclimatize before a Mont-Blanc traverse the next day. The face was in great conditions but we were very slow (no wonder: one of us came down with HACE the next day...). Very windy on the last snow ridge but the rock scramble was sheltered and quite pleasant. Amazing views from the summit! Left the refuge at 6:15, summit around 11:00 and back down at 13:00. | |

| Went from Aiguille du Midi cable car. Had a beautiful day and practically had the mountain to ourselves. There were a couple of challenging sections when crossing some crevasses, but otherwise a gentle climb. The summit is truly beautiful with breathtaking views. | |

| Nikman | Normal Route (ski-mountaineering) Date Climbed: Jun 4, 2006 | |
| We were on a schedule to go to Grand Combin, but a car accident drove us back and we couldn´t reach Panossiere-hut the day it was planned. We changed our plan short in time and drove over to Chamonix and took the first cable car to Ag. du Midi the next morning. Then we forced our bodies up to Mont Blanc du Tacul without acclimatisation. What a torture. It was very cold that day and we didn´t make it back in time to the cable car, so we had to sleep one night in Ref. Cosmique before returning next morning after. Great panorama for mountaineering. Easy access because of cable car. | |

| thegoldengriff | Normal Route from the Cosmiques Hut Date Climbed: Mar 17, 2007 | |
| Set out late from the Cosmiques hut (9 o'clock in the morning) to tool around on the ice and decided on a whim to take advantage of the good weather and climb the normal route. Cold and clear all morning. Gorgeous views of Mt Blanc and Chamonix below. | |
