Uploaded by on Jun 4, 2009

2/3 June 2009. Climbed via the Grand Mulets refuge over two days. We took Christophe Rezette (from Samoëns) as our guide. We started from the hut at 2.30am and ended up being the only people on the route, two others set off from the hut with us but lost a ski on the first steep slopes in the dark. You are almost never alone on the trade routes up Mt Blanc in good conditions so that was very lucky (for us). The weather was great too. There was a cold, strong wind blowing over the summit ridge but not quite strong enough to blow us off it!

The skiing was very mellow and in perfect condition.

  • What a great achievment.

    Beautiful - I snowboard myself, I can't ski, not sure I would be able to do this lol.

  • You can do this on a snowboard, in conditions like this you would climb up with crampons on your boots. You'd have to wear a rope going up over the glaciers, skis spread your load better and are safer in this circumstance!
