The Mont Blanc did not want
14-06-07
Wednesday night at the Tête Rousse hut, we were facing the beauty of the world. Thursday morning, 2am, clear weather, we climb the long ridge to the Goûter Hut, 3 hours in a mixed terrain, it is exceptionally safe today, and in very good snow conditions. We may believe that the Mont Blanc is at hand, but it is not the way it works in the mountains : at 5pm a cloud covers the Mont Blanc, and a strong southwest wind kills our dream. We wait, hoping for an improvement of the weather, but unfortunately it tends to be worse. We decide to go down, taking care of everybody because the motivation is not the same now. Jean Marc and I appreciate the spirit of our team, the way our four icelanders understand and accept this decision is remarkable.
