Description
I'm trying to get off 2 weeks unpaid from my corporate slave job in late July . My plan is to take 4-5 days to climb Mt. Blanc and perhaps one or two other peaks in the Alps. Then, I will spend the remaining 8-9 days back with my family in Spain and fly back to the US.
So, I need one or two partners to rope up for the glaciers. I haven't decided which routes, but it will probably be non-technical (PD+, AD).
Tentative dates to be around Chamonix: July 25-28, 2007. I haven't bought my plane ticket yet.
Let me know if you have a similar interest. PM or email me.

* UPDATE 6/21/2007: Unfortunately, I will not be able to take the unpaid time off this year. Therefore, I will not be in the Alps this summer 2007. Perhaps I can get away next year 2008. We shall see. Thank you to all who expressed interest to climb with me.

| Hi Miguel, I will be in Italy for the Matterhorn at the same time as you. Should you decide to skip Mont Blanc and opt for the Matterhorn, we could talk. I really don't want to pay a guide but I have not found anyone interested in going. Like you, I have not bought my plane ticket yet. I think I am doing the Swiss Arete on Sill July 12-15 and hen leave for Italy with my daughters. They will stay with my mom (she lives there) while I attempt the Cervino. Let me know if it could work for you.
