We have had a great vacation over here in the Alps. We climbed the Matterhorn, in Switzerland. It was a long rock ridge route that was super fun! It was interesting to see the mad rush of people climbing the ridge, and the delicate etiquette of how to pass other guided parties on the ridge.
We then spent a few days in Italy craging because it was raining/snowing in Alps. We stayed in a great hotel that was an old church, and ate good food.
Then we climbed Mt. Blanc from the Cosmiques hut going over Mt. Blanc de Tacul, Mt. Maudit, and then to the summit of Mt. Blanc. We made it up in 5.5 hrs. came down to the hut and then climbed the Cosmiques Arrete on the way back to the Auguille de Midi to catch the tram back down to Chamonix!
