Hike to the summit of Mont Blanc 22/07/2023 via the Gouter route.
Day 1: leave Saint Gervais at 7am on the Mont Blanc tram up to Nid Aguille. Hike out past the Tete Rousse hut and climb to the Gouter hut for about 1pm. Then climb to Mont Blanc summit for around 4:45pm and descend back to the Gouter hut for about 6:45pm to spend the night.
Day 2: leave the Gouter hut at 7:30am and descend to Tete Rousse. Then Hike back to the tram and back to Saint Gervais for around 11:30am.
CORRECTIONS:
- I occasionally get the Gouter and Tete Rousse huts confused in my commentary. Sorry about this!
- Most importantly....... Rafal did make the summit! We got separated in the last hour of ascent, but he was about 15 minutes behind me and made the summit as I was starting my descent.
