Where?
The route by the 3 summits is a bit more difficult, then normal route. During the last years, not always in conditions. But if we can catch the right situation on the mountain - I promise you an epic. I take only one guest for this route.
Traverse includes Mont Blanc du Tacul (4248 m), Mont Maudit (4465 m) and off course, the main summit of Mont Blanc 4810 m. The descent is no less strenuous than the ascent, and often, if the guest is very tired, I prefer to descend through the Gouter.
Acclimatization and climb takes 5-6 days. Nights in Refuge des Cosmiques and other refuges, situated in massive of Mont Blanc.
