mwalker Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Trip: Another Cham TR - Date: 10/10/2009 Trip Report: Got lots of advice from people on this board on where to spend three weeks in france in september/october. Dislocated my shoulder two days before leaving and a second time a week later cragging in chamonix so didn't really take anyone's advice. Ended up going up mont blanc but that's about it. The route from the top of the aiguille du midi. Took the cable car up at the end of the day and spent the night at the refuge to aclimatize (had one of the best meals in france at the refuge - served by nubile french women) french climbing fashion lots of these guys at the top. south face of the aiguille was pretty active while i was up there cosmique arret mont blanc due tacul - the face acts up in the afternoon even in october. most people head out from the refuge between 1 and 3 am. Not crazy crowded at that time of the year but you can see the goat trail the whole way up. face of Mont Maudit Duncan at the top of the Maudit ridge. He had just completed a 16 month motorcycle trip from Sydney, Aus to London, UK. He got altitude sickness and puked off and on for the first 5 hours. the summit ahead the top, 4,900 meters french climbers she's climbed more mountains than you ever will. Gear Notes: The french guides tell you to only bring one tool but they show up with two. If you're going to do it by yourself bring two. Approach Notes: 50 euros to the top of the tram (3,800 m). Another 50 to spend the night in the nicest refuge you'll ever stay in. Quote
