Classic Snow, Ice and Mixed Climbs
\nMountaineering in the Mont Blanc Range showcases the most beautiful lower
\ngrade snow, ice and mixed climbs (F to AD+) in the seemingly inexhaustible
\nMont Blanc Range. The routes described in this book should be within the
\ncapabilities of almost all mountaineers.<\/p>\n
Reflecting all recent changed topographical conditions due to the steady
\nglacial retreat created by climate change, authors Jean-Louis Laroche and
\nFlorence Lelong have selected 36 climbs from across the range, which are
\neasily accessible from well appointed mountain huts, useful telepheriques and
\nmountain railways.<\/p>\n
The routes described are an ideal introduction to the climbing in this
\nmagnificent area. They are on snow or mixed ground and, distributed among the
\nmain glacier basins, they will enable you to visit a representative selection
\nof summits along the full length of the range. Among them are some of the
\nfinest classics, including: the North Face of the Tete Blanche; the Whymper
\nRoute on the Aiguille d’Argentiere; the Cosmiques Ridge of the Aiguille du
\nMidi; the Normal Route, Contamine-Grisolle, and Chere Couloir on the Mont
\nBlanc du Tacul; and of course a choice of routes on Mont Blanc itself.<\/p>\n
Each route features a detailed and comprehensive route description, a sketch
\nmap and a route summary detailing the start point, difficulty, timings, height
\ngain, best time of year and the gear required. Beautifully illustrated with
\nphotos that show both the lie of the land and also the haunting beauty of the
\nfabulous peaks of the Mont Blanc Range, this guide clearly indicates
\nalpinism’s continued popularity to climbers of all ages.<\/p>\n
