Alone on mt blanc
Very unstable weather. On top of the dome it broke open. Unfortunately many clouds and snow came up from Val Veny at the petit Bosse.
The only advntage of the bad weather was that our group was the only one at the mountain this day.
The weather was great both for the climb up Aiguille du Gouter and the next day. It was super cool looking down into Italy from the knife edge near the top. The descent via the Mulets route was even more fun, jumping crevasses and clambering on and around seracs.

Ascent at first attempt
Is my first attempt to summit Mont Blanc and I success. It is a ver crowded route. Crossing Grand Couloir before sunrise is recommended.

Gouter - route
Solo. All ok. Best weather - not wind but cold in the summit. I think -20-25 C.

Gouter Route
Seems never ending to the summit but well worth it.

Descent
Used for the descent only. Grand Couloir wasn't my favourite place.

Mont Blanc Gouter route
I have summited via this route 4 times: 1988, 1989, 2002 & 2009. In 1989 went on to traverse the mountain via Maudit, Tacul & finish on Aig Du Midi. In 2009 I solo'd the route - see TR Alps 2009, sunny Saas summits & single return to Mont Blanc.

Went up to the gouter hut at 14/9 , at 15/9 the weather was very bad for a summit attempt and I was running out of time so I had to turn back and descent or loose my flight back to Greece.
There was a lot of wind - and few people on the summit. Thank you Uli, this was a nice trip!

Typically me! Overslept of course and started from Tête Rousse at 9am. The weather was perfect and me and my ex. girlfriend moved on until we decided to go down just below Grande Bosse (4513m). It was just too late in the evening (7pm). We didn´t want to go down with our torches.
The night was pretty romantic, we slept under a dining table in the Goûter hut. :)
