North ridge of the "Dome de Gouter"

- Randonnée/Telemark
An attempt to climb the Mt. Blanc on skis via the north ridge of the Dome de Gouter. Aborted due to unstable weather. The route is safer than the classical route but steeper and more difficult.
In the picture you can see the Grand Mulet hut to the left. You skin across the glacier and start climbing at the arete in the middle og the picture. The classical route goes to the left of this arete and is exposed to crevasses and avalanche. The weather is unstable and you do not want to get stuck on the arete or above the arete in bad weather.
