North Face steep ice
I climbed this with Louis Reichardt. Steep Ice couloir with rock climbing finish up summit block. Lots of ice falling from climbers above. Without a helmet I was hit hard on the head. Worst experience with interference from other climbers.
Super conditions in the North Face at the end of July after about 2 weeks of bad / unstable weather! Rimaye was passing well and not a single spot of ice in the face.
There are 2 bomb proof belays on spits in the route. First half way in the goulotte on the right, second on the upper right of the goulotte.
Descent via normal route.

fun climb
Nice moderate standard route with Steph and Steve. Backup plan due to poor conditions on 3MT. Slog regain from Cosmiques.
Climbed the north face in less than ideal conditions...

Gervasutti Couloir
Awesome ice climb. In the company of my son Christoph and our local guide Eric, we started at 4:15 AM from the Cosmiques refuge. By the time we got to the rimaye (6:30) the snow was already dripping due to the prevalent hot weather. The crossing of the tiny snow bridges covering huge gaps was really nerve racking! Nevertheless, once on solid snow/ice in the couloir it was much safer (fortunately mostly in the shade) and an awesome climb until reaching the North face. We descended by the standard SE ridge, classified as PD but in my opinion more deserving of AD rating.

Tour Ronde SE Ridge
Climbed the Tour Ronde via the SE Ridge in a nice day and with a lot of snow. Beatiful view of the Mont Blanc.
