MONT BLANC CLASSIC & PLAISIR

Mont Blanc rock, ice and mixt routes

The Mont Blanc range is one of great ascents, where important pages in
mountaineering history have been written.
However, alongside the hard routes climbable by but a few, there is a plethora
of more accessible routes to be discovered, combining beautiful climbing and
incredible surroundings.

This is the second edition of this very comprehensive guidebook with
descriptions of snow, ice and mixed routes, classic variants and spring ski-
mountaineering routes. It concentrates on a selection of routes of ‹medium›
technical difficulty and covering the whole of the Mont Blanc range, including
the mostly rock routes on the Aiguilles Rouges.

There are technical notes covering safety and conditions; approach; hut
information; gear; and maps.
The guide is in full colour with easy to follow topos and route descriptions
as well as approach information – English language throughout its 416 pages.

This guidebook allows you a taste of Mont Blanc without worrying too much
about sporting performance.
67 routes of Rock, Ice and Mixed.
