Alpinism: Aiguille du Midi – La Dame du Lac (Mont Blanc Massif)
Yesterday Morgan and I climbed La Dame du Lac at Aiguille du Midi (Mont Blanc Massif), a nice route overall with a very nice first half, especially the second pitch. As often in the Aiguille du Midi, the second half is a bit confusing and we mistakenly climbed some pitches of Quand Yannick s’en mêle. […]
Alpinism: Aiguille du Midi – Mallory Porter (Mont Blanc Massif)

Mont Blanc du Tacul – Goulotte Bodin Afanasieff

Alpinism: Pointes Lachenal – A l’oree du bois
After the recent snow falls on Mont Blanc Massif, most routes were in winter conditions except the Pointes Lachenal. Pascal and I went back to climb another route there ; A l’oree du bois. There are some nice pitches but the route is a bit confusing as it crosses 3 other routes. Anyway it was […]

Alpinism: Aiguille du Midi – La Contamine
Anna and I climbed another great route in Aiguille du Midi: La Contamine, 8 pitches, all nice! We finished right on time for a quick lunch on the sunny top of the Aiguille. View over Grandes Jorasses, Rochefort and Dent du Geant from Aiguille du Midi (© A. Gatta)
Alpinism: Pointes Lachenal – Harold et Maud
Pascal and I climbed Harold et Maud in Pointes Lachenal this morning. What a beautiful route on a perfect Granite!! Note that the other routes on Pointes Lachenal and Aiguille du Midi were dry too. View over Grand Capucin and Gervasuti Couloir from Pointes Lachenal (© P. Gatta)
