Normal Route  Sucess!

Went from Aiguille du Midi cable car. Had a beautiful day and practically had the mountain to ourselves. There were a couple of challenging sections when crossing some crevasses, but otherwise a gentle climb. The summit is truly beautiful with breathtaking views.

Normal Route (ski-mountaineering)  Sucess!

We were on a schedule to go to Grand Combin, but a car accident drove us back and we couldn´t reach Panossiere-hut the day it was planned. We changed our plan short in time and drove over to Chamonix and took the first cable car to Ag. du Midi the next morning. Then we forced our bodies up to Mont Blanc du Tacul without acclimatisation. What a torture. It was very cold that day and we didn´t make it back in time to the cable car, so we had to sleep one night in Ref. Cosmique before returning next morning after.
Great panorama for mountaineering. Easy access because of cable car.

Normal Route from the Cosmiques Hut  Sucess!

Set out late from the Cosmiques hut (9 o'clock in the morning) to tool around on the ice and decided on a whim to take advantage of the good weather and climb the normal route. Cold and clear all morning. Gorgeous views of Mt Blanc and Chamonix below.

Some nice mixed route  Sucess!

Not exactly sure what we climbed. Perhaps Contamine Mazeud. We soloed up neve/ice past the shrund and climbed under some seracs before crossing right to a rock band, then more ice, more rock and finally a great mixed pitch up to the high snowfield on the shoulder and thence the slog to the summit. Climbed with Silvio. Lots of fun.
