24th - 26th August 2007 - Mountaineering

Aiguille du Tour, Mont Blanc Massif

Facile graded route

Great walk up to the Albert Premier Refuge then 06.00h start to climb snow field to Col. Then climbed SW face and ridge to summit. Descended to Refuge same day and then descended to Le Tour the following day.

Intended to use this route as a training route for Mont Blanc, but the second half of the week rendered thunderstorms and v.unsettled weather so we couldn't do the mountain, and had to stay in the valley for the rest of the week. Hoping for better weather for the next attempt - maybe next year?

Climbed with Maurice, Shags and Brett.
