Description

26km, 2,477m+ and 8h52m car to car took us from the valley floor to the summit of the Aiguille de la Bérangère at 3,425m. This area of the Mont Blanc Massif is super wild and remote so we kept things very conservative with line choice and objective but it was HARD. My mind has got soft over confinement.

I very easily could have turned around after the first hour at the Tre La Tête refuge. Or a dozen times after that. But Grant Fulton and Jole Evans were having none of it and so onwards we forged. It feels so good to be back in the mountains.

Now, let’s start rebuilding.
