We decended via the refuge de requins which made a very long day of it. Do not under estimate this route !

Tom FralichRoute Climbed: Midi-Plan Traverse Date Climbed: July 25, 2004  Sucess!

Climbed with Philippe Gerschel after taking the first cable car at 6AM from Chamonix. We got caught behind some slow parties at the rappels, which cost us some time. The summit was quite nice - very flat on the top. We returned to the Aig du Midi by the same route, which was time consuming. Snow conditions were pretty poor, especially on the return.

cherokeeRoute Climbed: traverse Date Climbed: July 23, 1976  Sucess!

A nice route on its own and used quite a bit, as I used it , to get to many climbs. From 1976 through 1978 I climbed part or all of this route at least 8 times as I remember.

ProbemeisterRoute Climbed: Aller-retour Date Climbed: July 2001
One of the best routes I have done over about 6 visits to various parts of the Alps. We did this in a storm and saw nothing all day apart from 1 hour of sun on the rognon du plan. This turned all the snow to slush and we had an interesting time reversing the traverse in a proper whiteout. We turned round after the abseils of the rognon du plan as the fresh snow was avalanching in the sun, 2 italians went for a ride but were ok.



I'll say it again, a fabulous route

climbed the 'Aiguille du Plan' via the Midi-Plan-traverse,

and I must say it's a very fine route for a novice to explore the edges off the Mont-Blanc massif, and have an excellent view over the Vallée Blanche !!!

Superb Traverse !!!

Chamonix ManRoute Climbed: Midi - plan traverse Date Climbed: August 2001  Sucess!

I climbed this route the day after doing the cosmiques, and the day before the dent du geant. We were the first people on the route over new snow that day.

Some quite exposed bits - particularly the traverse over a steep snow field half way along.

El Tigre ValderramaRoute Climbed: Midi Plan raverse Date Climbed: Summer 2001

Due to bad snow conditions my guide, my wife and I gave up 3/4 of the way.....I still think the thing was doable.



Next time!
