Cosmiques

Voted 7/10

Sugestions for improvement...
Add some detailed info on prices, facilities, food, and opening times. That's the kind of info I'd look for in this page. My lasting memory of Cosmiques was being charged €3.50 for a bowl of hot water when all I wanted it for was to thaw frozen fingers!
Also, no offense, but some of the photos of the views aren't great and I think you'd do better to use some photos from other pages to illustrate the views. I've got an album here which includes a lot of photos taken from near the hut if it's any help otherwise there are plenty of others out there.
Lastly, I'd generalise more about the areas that can be climbed from the hut (e.g. Tacul Triangle, NE Face of Tacul, Three Monts, routes on Aiguille du Midi, etc), rather than naming specific routes (A lot of people including myself won't have any interest in PD climbs).
Hope that's some help.

	Hasn't voted	Thanks for your ideas. But I think it´s difficult to add prices at this page as the prices could change every season. And are prices (f.e. for a bowl of hot water) a reason not to go to the hut? I´ll try to add more routes which can be climbed from the hut. But I think that the routes which can be climbed should be detailed under the mountain or the area. But for an overview it would be good at the hut side. I´ll look for more routes at the weekend and add them next week. Have a look then again. I´ll give you the info then. Cheers, Thomas

	Hasn't voted	I wrote 10+ hours for the traverse via MB du Tacul and Mont Maudit. For the directe ascent without those other 2 summits you need less time. When you check guide books there is one passage with about 60 degrees of about 30 m, the rest is surely less steep. When I was there this short part has a steepness of 60°. Thanks for your comment. Cheers, Thomas
