From Gouter hutErsatz summit on way to Mont Blanc - I had to return there due to upcoming heart problems. But very impressive in late moonlight, staggering outlook westward, and also very impressive sunrise.

Solo after having climbed Mont Blanc accompaniedWell, it was too easy after having climbed Mont Blanc. The summit is too flat and there was a log near the top. The snow was very soft so when I joined my mates we hardly descended to Refuge du Goûter, we didn't carry enough water. By the way, I solo climbed it because my mates were talking about the Mont Blanc ascent. So I decided to reach the summit and return with them soon.

Route Climbed: From Gouter Hut Date Climbed: 31 July 2004Durng my second time on Mont Blanc.Waiting for my friends just before starting descending to Gouter Pass I walked few minutes to the place I considered to be the top.Maybe not very immpressive achievement when you plan to reach Mont Blanc but it's worth the little effort.
