Detailed Product Description
2007, 1st edition. 95 pp, photos. A new guidebook aimed at alpinists seeking lower grade snow, ice and mixed climbs (F to AD+, with climbs of D) and reflecting all recent changed topographical conditions due to the steady glacial and snowfield retreat created by climate change. The climbs are selected from across the range and are easily accessible from well appointed mountain huts and useful telepheriques and mountain railways.
This book is beautifully illustrated with photos that show both the detail of the mountain or approach and also the haunting beauty of the fabulous peaks of the Mont Blanc Range - including clearly the mainspring of alpinism's continued popularity to climbers of all ages.
Including the highest peak in the Alps, the climbing possibilities in the Mont Blanc range are seemingly inexhaustible. Each year, new routes are created, others join the ranks of the classics, and some fall into disuse. Over thirty routes are described in the recently released THE MONT BLANC RANGE and are ideal for becoming attuned to this magnificent range. Routes are on snow or mixed ground with AD the highest technical grade.
The climbs are selected from across the range and are easily accessible from well-appointed mountain huts and mountain railways. Routes reflect all recent changed topographical conditions due to the steady glacial retreat created by climate change. each profile provides information for the approach, ascent, and descent and a map of the peak. At-a-glance information lists:
Difficulty, Height Gain, Conditions, Equipment, First ascent.
Distributed among the main glacier basins, the routes will enable climbers to visit a representative selection of summits including some of the finest classics. Beautifully illustrated with photos that show both the lie of the land and also the haunting beauty of the fabulous peaks of the Mont Blanc range, the book indicates the mainspring of alpinism’s continued popularity to climbers of all ages.
Jean-Louis Laroche is a mountain guide and photographer, free-lance journalist, and ardent enthusiast for the Mont Blanc range. For more than thirty years, has climbed most of the classics on rock, ice, snow and mixed ground. He has pioneered a number of new rock routes in the pre-Alps, as well as ice-falls and has been on expeditions to remote areas.
Florence LeLong is a free-lance photographer, illustrator, mountain leader and alpinist who seeks to share her passion for the realms of nature which light reveals to us. Co-author of several photographic books, she also exhibits her photos and works regularly with the press and publishing.
