"Many thanks for all your efforts in getting me to the summit. Really had a great week!"

Nigel Crawly
Mont Blanc 9-14 August 2004
"I think you did two very good things on our Mont Blanc course; the guide was a top choice as he was an excellent instructor and guide and a very nice person to spend a week with. Also your hut bookings for Tete Rousse and Gouter where clever as this gave us two chances at the summit which hugely increased our chances of a successful summit attempt."

Cheers

"As for the [Mont Blanc ascent] course, I haven't stopped raving about it since my return (ditto for Ken) you got it right man.
I believe your approach to be spot on so keep up the good work and above all stay safe amongst all those lunatics out there."

Mont Blanc Ascent - Course Summary (6 Days Based in Chamonix)

mont blanc guides, chamonix mont blanc guides, mont blanc guiding, chamonix mont blanc guiding, climb mont blancMont Blanc is western Europe’s highest mountain at 4808 metres (15,780 feet). Reaching the summit is a great achievement for experienced alpinists and beginners alike and is a realistic goal on a one week Mont Blanc Ascent course with Mountain Guides. Our courses are specifically designed to give our clients the maximum chance of summiting. We therefore have a high success rate for our trips. After 3 days of training and acclimatisation we allow 3 days to climb Mont Blanc via the Tete Rousse and Gouter huts. As a result of the way that we have designed our course - with two nights on the mountain - you and your guides have 2 opportunities to reach the summit. The programme below is not fixed and can change if conditions and weather vary. Your guide will choose the best routes and venues for the conditions at the time.


Mont Blanc Ascent Sample Program

Day 1 Evening meeting with guides to discuss equipment and course structure.
Day 2 Ecole de glace (ice training day) on the Mer de Glace. You learn basic crampon and ice axe techniques which are invaluable for an ascent of Mont Blanc.
Day 3 Traverse of the Vallee Blanche and an ascent of  the Aiguille de Toule 3534m. Night in a mountain hut.
Day 4 Climb Mont Blanc du Tacul (4248m) A great acclimatisation climb with fantastic views of Mont Blanc. We then descend to the Chamonix valley.
Day 5 An easy 2 to 3 hour walk to the Tete Rousse hut at 3204 metres.
Day 6 We usually try and climb to the summit 4808 returning to stay in the Gouter hut at 3800 metres. If the weather conditions or client fitness precludes a summit attempt then we use the day to climb to the Gouter hut.
Day 7 We descend to the valley from the Gouter hut or climb to the summit from the hut and then return to the valley.

The above programme is not fixed and can change if weather and conditions vary. Your guide will choose the best routes and venues for the conditions at the time.
