Yes we call it le Grand couloir de la mort !
some many people are dead here , but it's wrong how you cross like that ! , one by one and in silence and slowly, you can hear if you have stones

@cotty74 @cotty74 One answer to this one use the cable don't even think about not. I guarantee even Ueli Steck would use the cable. If a big rock hits you then it's all over you will fall down the steep slope. I climbed this route in 2008 and i crossed the couloir clipping in using our rope. The clip in point was in the middle of me and my partner. We did the same coming back. Same again if there is any sign of ice or snow wear crampons they will help you stay on your feet.

i can see at first glimps that this is a very amateur trip to mont blanc. first of all - you should never cross grand couloir tied with rope - its fragile to weigth so should pass one by one. Secondly this passage is arround 100 meters above glacier and after the passage there is a few hundreds meters of easy but rocky climbing - why the hell wearing the cramps or using the ice axe. can't you see that it is just causing only trouble for you?

Did this once without clipping and i tripped, lucky me Does anyone know the name of the resturant up ahead? It's been bugging me that i forgot.

@GarethMuggins They should each be clipped in. What is done here is foolish and dangerous.

Yeah, you'll brown your pants if not careful..!! It certainly focusses the mind, glad you got through unscathed..! Would always recommend clipping in. Did you start out from the Tele Rousse hut or camp? Were you successful with your summit bid of Mont Blanc?

It is possible but if you trip & fall down the Couloir you've got BIG problems...!! I'd recommend clipping into the fixed cable & there are notices advising the same.... Hope you have a successful trip & ENJOY!! :)
