Normal route from refuge du Glacier Blanc
Our warm up climb before the Barre des Ecrins next day. Not too difficult but very enjoyable!

Route from Glacier Blanc hut
First peak I climbed last summer. Has some nice climbing just after you gained the ridge.

Route Climbed: Calotte (from L'Alpe Du Villar d'Arene Hut) - Agneau Blanc
Jean Philippe, Philippe and I got up at 2am for early breakfast (dinner?), leaving the Hut (2080m) at 2.45am. Weather conditions good. After quite a long climb (1600m of cumulated ascent) we reached summit of Agneau Blanc (3630m) at 9.15am. We celebrated with a fabulous and sweet melon admiring the beautiful views. The final ridges and corridors (calotte) quite amazing and alpine !. In one of the corridors we needed to avoid a big rock directly coming to us... ufff !. After some photos we descent to Glacier Blanc Hut (2542m) with one delicate abseil and some bottom sky ... All in all a great alpine route.
Route Climbed: Normal route: Refuge Glacier Blanc - Jean Gauthier Glacier - Col du Monetier - col Tuckett Date Climbed: 25th of July 2005
up to Tuckett col (3529m), went down again because it was very busy on the mountain (big group climbing), there was a lot of rockfall and forecast of bad weather
Route Climbed: west cwm, then normal S ridge Date Climbed: aug 1980
Along Jean Gautier glacier to col du Monêtier, starting from a bivouac nearby refuge du Glacier Blanc, in a bright sunny day. Third summit during a four days round trip, after Neige Cordier and Roche Faurio.
