"Day 7: after doing Ludwigshohe and Parrotspitze in the dark, we summited Signalkuppe and Zumsteinspitze. We tried to walk on the knife-edge snow ridge towards the Dufourspitze but the snow was unstable so we retreated to the Gorner glacier rushing all the way down to the Monte Rosa hut. Then after a very long walk with routefinding on glacier and morraine with ups and downs we finally made it to Zermatt after a total of 20 hours of walking..." — Christos • Aug 9, 2019

"Day 3: From the surprisingly good Rossi Volante bivouac, we went up the WNW flank of Castor leading to a 20 - 25 meter snow climb to join the knife-edge snow ridge ti the summit. After that weather was getting worse so we called off Lyskamm and retreated to Quintino Sella refuge, where we stayed for 2 extra days waiting for the rain, hail, snow and high winds to stop..." — Christos • Aug 5, 2019

"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 and nasty crevasses on Glacier du Geant icefall. 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. " — Christos • Aug 11, 2018

"28/07/18 left Chamonix and drove through the Mont Blanc tunnel to Pont Italy in the Gran Paradiso national park. Hiked up to the vittorio emanuele 11 refuge 2732 m assent of 850m. Had lunch cheese and ham omelette, rested until set evening meal lasagne then meat and mash potato's, and then desert. Food was excellent, but squat toilets (WHY DO THEY STILL EXIST IN 2018?) Left the hut after a light breakfast 4:30 am reached the summit at 8:54 am after a short exposed climb. A magnificent clear day with great views Back to the hut for omelette then back to Pont. Then back to Chamonix " — JohnJones • Jul 29, 2018

"Incredible climb and summit. Got lucky with weather with minimal rain on the approach day to Chabot hut and sunny skies on summit day. Snow cover on the normal dry morraine meant early crampons all the way until the summit. Guide pushed the pace through the crevasses glacier with an exposed knife ridge finish. Holly gave it her all despite near frostbitten hands. One of my most memorable summits to date. Complete TR: https://themtsarecalling.com/granparadiso/" — Christopher • Jun 14, 2018
