The Mountain Guide travels to Europe.
Keith Bortle and I had a great time in the Alps this season, with beautiful peaks, nice people, and the Euro not in our favor.
Stepping out on the glacier above Chamonix, France Keith and I join a few of our friends for
a little glacier stroll.
Keith follows a pitch on the Cosmique Arete, a wonderful mixed route that end at the cable car station.
Keith and I cross the glacier towards Mont Blanc (15,781') as we start what will become an 18hr. day climbing
over Mont Blanc du Tacul, Mont Maudit, and then to the summit of Mont Blanc.
Keith nearing the summit of Maudit. We had the route to ourselves that day, a very rare treat. BUT, we had to pay
for that treat with some deep snow trailbreaking.
Doug on Mont Maudit with extraordinary mountain scenery all around.
