Mont Blanc

Owen was very keen to climb Mont Blanc. I'd never climbed it and was quite interested to join him. With a perfect three day weather window, we joined the hoards on the Goûter Route for the long hike to the top.

We hadn't yet been high this trip, so we took a rather slow approach to our acclimatisation which included time for two spagbols en route. Our plans paid off as we summited just in time for a beautiful sunrise bathing the Matterhorn on the horizon in golden light.
