Mont Blanc - rope and distance info needed
Posted: Tue Aug 05, 2008 12:19 pm
Since on the page (http://www.summitpost.org/mountain/rock ... chapter_14) I could not find gear section I submitting this post.
Can anybody tell me about rope usage on Mont Blanc via Normal Route, Gouter:
• Is it essential or only recommended?
• As I read the most dangerous part is Grand Couloir but according to the information this part should be passed in so call sprint solo?
• Or I’m wrong rope is needed for crevasses? But where exactly?
Also I would appreciate if anyone knows the following information:
From - Nid d'Aigle to Tête Rousse hut how long is trail in Km?
From - Tête Rousse hut to Goûter hut how long is trail in Km?
From - Goûter hut to the summit how long is in Km?
