About this product

Product Information

Mountaineering in the Mont Blanc Range showcases the most beautiful lower grade snow, ice and mixed climbs (F to AD+) in the seemingly inexhaustible Mont Blanc Range. The routes described in this book should be within the capabilities of almost all mountaineers. Reflecting all recent changed topographical conditions due to the steady glacial retreat created by climate change, authors Jean-Louis Laroche and Florence Lelong have selected 36 climbs from across the range, which are easily accessible from well appointed mountain huts, useful telepheriques and mountain railways. The routes described are an ideal introduction to the climbing in this magnificent area. They are on snow or mixed ground and, distributed among the main glacier basins, they will enable you to visit a representative selection of summits along the full length of the range. Among them are some of the finest classics, including: the North Face of the Tete Blanche; the Whymper Route on the Aiguille d'Argentiere; the Cosmiques Ridge of the Aiguille du Midi; the Normal Route, Contamine-Grisolle, and Chere Couloir on the Mont Blanc du Tacul; and of course a choice of routes on Mont Blanc itself. Each route features a detailed and comprehensive route description, a sketch map and a route summary detailing the start point, difficulty, timings, height gain, best time of year and the gear required. Beautifully illustrated with photos that show both the lie of the land and also the haunting beauty of the fabulous peaks of the Mont Blanc Range, this guide clearly indicates alpinism's continued popularity to climbers of all ages.

  • Pretty, mostly clear, but sometimes lacking detail

    Nice compact book and a good selection of routes. Their clear decription of the gear and conditions needed for each route is much appreciated. However it's not always clear whether routes can be started in the valley, or require a hut stay/bivvy. Worse, in some other places their descriptions can be innacurcate or lack in detail. For example it gives the time to do cosmiques arete as 2-3 hours. Unless you bivvy up there to be the first on the route, there's no way you can do it in two hours when you account for the queues you will encounter at the crux and abseil; in fact it doesn't give any warning of the notorious business at all. Giving that guide time could make someone miss the last cable car down and end up stranded at 3800m! Another example is thier decription for the Gouter route ...
