The Grand Pilier d'Angle - A 'Walk on the Wild (Italian) Side of Mont Blanc'
Chris high on the Boivin Vallencant variation on the Grand Pilier d'Angle, Italian Face of Mont Blanc
Conditions across the Mont Blanc range have taken a pleasant turn for the autumnal with cool air temperatures and reasonable amounts of fresh snow on the glaciers, faces and butresses. Rock climbing in the High Mountains is only now really practical on the warmer South faces.
Fellow British Guide Dave Hollinger and I enjoyed fine icy conditions whilst climbing the Grand Pilier d'Angle on the Italian side of Mont Blanc before finishing up the Peutery Ridge ('Infinite Spur!?') Click the links below for a full route report and photo gallery.
