Success on Mont Blanc

On Wednesday Olly guided Jonathan Clare and Richard Jones to the summit of Mont Blanc, congratulations to them both. Despite poor weather early on the Wednesday morning they sat out the morning in the Gouter hut and headed out into the clearing afternoon sun around 3pm.

Summiting at 7pm having battled through strong winds to reach the summit ridge, a quick stop to enjoy the view and they were back down in the hut by 10pm for a well earnt late dinner and wait until they could get a bed to sleep the rest of the night away.

The Thursday morning dawned bright and clear and they headed back down to Chamonix to celebrate their success. Photo’s to follow in due course.
