The guide to the Mont Blanc Range! Vol. 1: from the Trient Basin to the Géant
Basin.
Presents a comprehensive guide to the snow and ice routes on all the summits
in the massif. The guide provides easy to follow descriptions of several
hundred cols, couloirs, gullies and mixed climbs. A short description of each
route, photographs showing the line of each route, bivoucs and huts.
For this third edition, Snow, Ice & Mixed has been updated, expanded,
corrected and reorganised in order to take into account changes in climbing
conditions and the latest developments in mountaineering, as well as the
numerous new routes that have been climbed in recent years.
Volume one of the new guidebook describes more than 750 routes in 15 glacial
basins in the eastern half of the Mont Blanc Range – recording for posterity
routes climbed by our predecessors while highlighting the dynamism of the
current climbing scene; describing cols, notches and minor summits, as well as
famous faces and prestigious peaks; and turning the spotlight on recent climbs
without overlooking either established classics or rarely trodden lines.
