Success on Mont Blanc
My one and only (planned) Mont Blanc course this season didn’t attract the numbers required to justify running it. Jim was keen but as he was the only member, I changed his course from a standard 9-day Mont Blanc course, to a 6-day private guiding course, with Mont Blanc as the last route.
Jim had never put a rope on, nor had touched rock, so it was wonderful to be able to start from the basics with Jim. He loved every minute, and through the 6 days, developed into a good rock climber. We even had a great day on the Cosmiques Arête, the route covered in the snow that had fallen when Lee and Lorna were baling their tent out! Together with the Midi climb, we managed the Petite Verte and some great climbing on the Guides crag, and successfully climbed Mont Blanc on day 6. I had a great time with Jim, and I look forward to seeing him in the Cairngorms next winter.
