Technical Alpine Peaks

High on the South West Face of the Dent de Geant, Italian / French Alps

Many of the classic alpine peaks have 'normal' routes that are actually challenging and exciting mountaineering outings. We aim to seek these out in 6 days of technical rock, ice and mixed alpine action. With a base in Chamonix we can operate throughout the Western Alps, climbing in the French Mont Blanc Range, Italian Aosta Valley or Swiss Valais. Depending on weather and conditions we can tackle anything from lower, more technical rock routes right through to mixed ridges on the high 4000m peaks.
