| geeman | By the Ossoue Glacier  Date Climbed: May 27, 2007 | |
| Ski ascent by the Ossoue Glacier, after a night at the Grange de Holle refuge. Good weather before a low pressure system reached the mountian in late afternoon. The glacier was well snowed and afforded some good skiing down. | |

| CrazyBanana | Couloir de Gaube Date Climbed: May 4, 2008 | |
| I started from the Oulettes de Gaube Refuge (2151m) with two companions at 4:00 AM to reach the rimaye of the gully in about 1:30h. There was a very thin snow bridge over it which we crossed carefully, and we could then start enjoying the climb. The snow was wet, but we made good progress, however, the final ice fall was not completely formed, and water was coming down all over it. I got all wet until I reached the first anchor, then one of my companions took the lead. We reached the col in a beautiful weather, left our equipment there, climbed to the summit and returned to the refuge the normal way. It was a great experience! | |

| DrJonnie | Three up Date Climbed: Jun 6, 2007 | |
| Ken, Peter (Ken's brother) and myself took the normal route from the Baysellance refuge, leaving at 7:30 am and arriving on the summit at 10:30am. There were no real difficulties although the last 100 metres was over rather loose slabs with a thin covering of snow. We took a snow gully for the descent. Weather was fine and cold, the snow on the glacier still frozen for the way back to the refuge. | |
