I have just returned to Argentire after a climb of this route, and found your story. I love the detail, and I totally understand how tired you must have been! We enjoyed the climb, but were quite slow. We stood on the summit in a beautiful sunset, then started down towards the Aguille du Midi. We bivouaced, painfully, at the col between Maudit and Mont Blanc. Now I'm going to sleep the afternoon away...
