Starting the approach from Val Veny and going down to Entreves (1300 m), we did a +2100m to reach the Torino hut. On summit day we spent 4 additional hours negotiating the crevasse filled Vallee Blanche before finding our way towards the Cosmiques side. After the summit, I twisted my ankle jumping over a crevasse on the steep slopes of Tacul... All this made for a 17-hour long summit day. Good thing there is a lift going down from Torino hut and this was the last mountain of my trip, concluding one month in the Alps with 8 new fourthousanders in the bag!
