aking advantage of conditions and a good trail in the route, Pascal and I climbed the Mallory Porter four times in over a week.
Now that Brevent cable car is closed, climbing there means +1,500 meters approach but there is a great reward; being alone in the entire face.
It is always a pleasure to climb Mont Blanc, and having the chance to be alone on the top with a perfect weather is quite amazing.
After the ascent of the Goulotte Bodin Afanasieff yesterday and a night in the Cosmique hut, Alex, Frederic and I left for the Couloir Macho on Mont Blanc du Tacul.
The Bodin Afanasieff gully is an obvious route well visible from Les Houches. The route follows a 600 meters gully in the Northwest rocky face of Mont Blanc du Tacul.
There are some really nice routes in the Pointes Lachenal (3,613m). After Harold et Maud, L’Orée du Bois, Pascal and I climbed the Contamine yesterday.
The Northeast face of Les Courtes (3,856m) in a great classic climb around Argenière, Mont Blanc Massif.
For the second day of ski touring, I went to Argentiere glacier, up to Aiguille d’Argentiere (3,901m) and skied down to the valley.
After many days of Alpine Ski, I went ski touring to Aiguille du Tour (3,540m) a very scenic and easy peak of Mont Blanc Massif.
We went to the SW Face of gendarme rouge of Aiguille du Peigne (3078m) to climb Le Maillon Manquant a 400m route graded ED-, 6b+/A0.
We climbed Cache Cache in Pointe Adolphe Rey (3,535m), another fantastic route. The route is 250m high and graded ED, 6c/7a
