"That was one of the goals I was preparing for as part of my solo expedition in the Alps! Tried to scale it all the way from Chamonix, but after reaching the top of Mer de glace glacier, got kicked out by bad weather. So I took the lift to Aiguille du Midi and went up the 3 Monts route to Mont Blanc and spent the night at Vallot bivouac at 4365m. The next day walked all the way down to the village Les Houches at 1000m altitude. (Gps track to follow. i am still on the Alps solo expedition!)" - Mont Blanc, Christos, Aug 11, 2018

"Second trip to Chamonix and even a rainy day was the best day weather wise I’ve had in town. Took the lift up halfway to Planpraz and climbed through snow to the summit. Rain held until just below the summit, but let up for the descent. Obscured but beautiful views across to Mont Blanc.

"France. Noticed the mountain when arriving at Refuge de la Valette the day before. Had a nice flat form, looked like an observation platform. Climbed it in early morning before descending to Pralognan and ending our tour in the heart of the national park of Vanoise." - Roc de la Valette, Pieter, Aug 17, 2016

"France. Climbed Col d'Aussois with backpacks. Left them at the base of the top. Very crowded. Had to wait till people left. Stayed for couple of minutes. Went down slowly on other side of col, steep. Rested at a river that had its source at Glacier du Génépy. Went on to Refuge de la Valette. Was beyond exhausted after last climb." - Pointe de l' Observatoire, Pieter, Aug 16, 2016

"France. Started Tour des Glaciers at Pralognan. Reached Refuge du Col de la Vanoise at noon. Left backpacks. Took small wrong path to the left. Dead end on a ridge. Went back and to the right. Saw path and big cairns. Climbed to massive glacier. Walked at the edge. Climbed on rocks. Saw a guy on the left. Ran to him and talked. There's a way to the top! Lost some time but it was worth it. What a view. Back down, ate a lot. Decided to keep going after. Saw chamois at Col de la Vanoise. Turned right at bunker. Sun setting. Passed by lakes. Stumbled in streams. With help of full moon light, we ar" - Pointe de la Rechasse, Pieter, Aug 14, 2016
