Hi all,
I know it may sound awkward but I was wondering if anyone had some advice regarding having a solo climbing to mt blanc this summer. I will go for the normal (Gouter) route in this initial trial. What I heard and read about this route is it is not technically difficult but just requires experience and stamina. That is why I am thinking going for that route.
I am doing climbing for a very long time so I do not have any issues with the basics and how tos. I am thinking of going there with a gps to avoid getting lost as I do not know the route very well. I have read a lot about others' experiences and what I understand is it is very crowded at summer time. So, what is the chance of getting lost there or are there already too many people around summer time so I can follow some of the groups and find my way easily? Has anyone tried this before?
Also, are there any very dangerous points to mention for a solo climber? For instance any points that requires more than one person to increase the safety.. (such as being in the same rope etc.)?
Note: If anyone interested for a 2-3 day unguided climbing this summer please let me know.
Thanks a lot.
