For our first day, we’ll head to the Flégère or Brévent area to meet each other for a briefing and a safety check. Today, we will climb one of the multi-pitch routes in this area—the exact one will depend on your climbing experience and the weather.
It’s our second day of rock climbing in Chamonix. Depending on weather conditions, the guide will take you to Plan de l’Aiguille, where a couple of majestic, classic granite routes, such as the Papillons ridge and the Lépidoptères on the Peigne, or Nabot Léon on Blaitière await. They’ll likely be north-facing, so the granite can be a little tricky!
On day 3, we’ll go to either the top of the Aiguille du Midi or the Skyway in Italy, and climb either Pyramide du Tacul, Rébuffat route on the Aiguille du Midi’s southern face, or something similar. Glacier approach but definitely a sunnier granite day in altitude.
