I know three guys who climbed it and two of them took more than one attempt.
Mountains are like a magnet to me. Totally love them.

The problem is that people don’t acclimatize and take too little time in general. On the day I was on the summit, we got passed early on by a guide with a customer in really bad shape, poor idiot left literally a trail of vomit all over the mountain. We passed them a few hours later in our leisurely pace. If they’d gotten cought in a storm, that customer may have died in the bivvy from altitude sickness, it’s absolutely moronic.

Wow, my respect.
Would you mind to draft an account on your experience climbing the Mont Blanc?

Bit short for time until after the weekend, if I don’t do it until the weekend after, feel free to remind me.
In the spirit of the thread, I’ll leave you two pics though, the first is of sunrise, must have been close to the Vallot Bivvy.
This is the Chamonix valley from the summit, the tower on the right is Aiguille du Midi.

I went skiing there once in the early 90s. Does anyone know if they still keep the sled dogs up on the glacier? I’m assuming that it was above Chamonix, but we came from Milano, so might have been a different resort. I wish that my memory of the time was better, but of course there was a girl.

Yes indeed, it’s our yearly pilgrimage whilst they have their tiny military show on. I love that place.
