Congrats on your success on Mont Blanc! It always feels amazing when you do something that you were never sure you had the ability to do in the first place, great job!
Thanks to you what I remember when my dream come true the last year, in july of 2005. It's not only a high mountain it's really a beautifull and shine mountain!
Bienvenidos al club de los que hemos subido el Mont Blanc!!
It appears that you took the same route I took forty-seven years ago. I reached the Gouter refuge alone but the next morning roped up between two German climbers to trudge to the top. The weather was perfect. See my summit registration.
Waaoo man, that's great !. I think you got a fantastic year. I consider San Fermin fiesta as one of the best of the world ! Even you were meeting Heminway... I was this summer in Cuba and we went to the famous "Bodeguita del Medio" in La Havana where he took his mojitos !
Congratulations Nyle for your long alpine career!
Rafa, bienvenido al club de los que hemos subido el Mont Blanc. A parte de esto quería preguntarte una cosilla. Por lo que se ve en la vista desde el Refugio Gouter había nevado recientemente y no tuvisteis buen tiempo el primer día ¿No?
Gracias Diego.
El dia anterior habia estado nevando e hizo bastante mal tiempo; hubo muy pocas cordadas que subieron. De hecho nosotros estabamos cruzando los dedos porque se nos acababa la estancia. Finalmente, el dia del ascenso solo tuvimos mucho frio y viento desde el Refugio de Gouter hasta el Refugio de Vallot. A partir de ahi Sol, sol, sol.
Ya se a que viento te refieres, la primera vez que intentamos el Mont Blanc lo sufrimos en Julio del 90. Nos volvimos desde el Vallot ya que aun éramos muy pardillos y decidíamos las cosas por votación. Los que dijeron de bajar decían que no llegaríamos a coger el último tren en Nid d'Aigle. Yo voté seguir adelante pero no salió. Bastante tiempo después, en Agosto de 2001 hicimos cumbre. Los que no subían se iban quedando por el camino, una pareja de amigos en el Dôme du Goûter y mi padre en el Vallot. A la vuelta nos fuimos encontrando con ellos y mientras se hablaba yo subí al Dôme du Goûter, una cima realmente plana.
Enhorabuena, congratulations, félicitations... There aren't enough words for that climb, are there? And thank you for bringing back many happy memories of our climb in July 2005.
Thanks a lot. Absolutely right, it's impossible to describe accurately all the emotions and thoughts. In any case, as mentioned it was one of the happiest days of my life.
Muchas gracias Jonas. Ten por seguro que tu has sido parte del exito. Espero que estes pasandotelo fenomeno en el Himalaya. Ya nos contaremos y enhorabuena por el evento de Cercedilla
Un abrazo
I am planning Mt Blanc this year and read your story with great enthusiasm. I was in Chamonix last year, got acclimatized and then the weather did not co-operate before the end of my vacation. So, I dream until this summer and thank you very much for sharing your story. If I make it, like you, it will likely be one of the happiest days of my life. Congratulations again on your super achievement!!!
