That group was little prepared, thus their individual weaknesses but themselves and the whole group (guide included) in danger. For starters: They were receiving crampons and piolet training the same week (3:29) of the climb!. Although it is not technically difficult climb, Mont Blanc is constantly underestimated and every year it takes the lives of many climbers. Next year I want to go up, but only IF I find my climbing knowledge and physical preparedness ready for a sunny or a sudden storm.

Is this the easiest route up?

Cool

Intresting, how much does it usually cost to have a guide take you up there for the week?
-
I hope to hike the Haute Route one day.

@mountainguidetravel Above all many thanks for the response. I might have spoken a bit too much, as I did not go too deep into the video and the link. A three days training is enough to give a basic knowledge of the skills needed or a good refresh for an experienced mountaineer. Also a ratio of 1:2 is acceptable as it gives confidence and knowledge of the whole group --perfect that you guys are CMG certified. My talk was because of my own mistakes due to over confidence - which is dangerous. Ta!

Dear Alejoenhispania
I agree with you on that fact that a lot of people underestimate Mont Blanc and try to climb it unprepared.
However, I do not agree with you that that was the case for this group. The group was 4 guests and 2 Mountain Guides.
The guests has 3 days of preparation training and did great. They learned what they needed to climb Mont Blanc together with a Certified Mountain Guide.
They don't have the skills to do the climb on there own. But that was not the goal.
