Lisa_D Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 On July 3-5, 2016, we climbed Mont Blanc in a really fun way: we drove under it using the 11 km Mont Blanc tunnel, stayed at the Italian Refugio Gonella, climbed up a remote route on the Italian side, traversed the summit, descended the classic Three Summits route, stayed at the French Refuge de Cosmiques, then used the Hellebronner gondola to get across and back down to the Italian side. It was beautiful, challenging, and memorable. Once again, I don't have the wifi speed to upload pictures to cc.com (apologies!), but I was able to upload them to my blog a few days ago when I had a better connection.

JasonG Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Now THAT is the way to climb Mount Blanc. That sounds really, really cool. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfire Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Nice report. That is a cool way to get it done. Having done the 3 summits route up and down, I like your way instead of the soul crushing yo-yo's both ways that we got to "experience".
