Arete de Rochefort, AD

On the 31. of July Pernille and I climbed the Arete de Rochefort, the route is pretty straightforward and easy. As the guidebook says it is more exposed than hard.

It has some of the best views and best scenery in the Mont Blanc massif.

The approach to the route involves an hour or so of scrambling

The ridge in all its glory, pretty easy and pretty exposed. Italy down on the right

Further along the ridge, with the dent du geant, tacul and mont blanc brenva face in the background, very nice views.

Climbers on one of the rocktowers of the route

Rescue to get four people of the Geant, that had climbed the fixed rope, but could not get down again on their own. They were dropped of on the glacier.

We did not climb the geant, as there were a cue of 15 people waiting to get on the route.
