Paragliding Mont Blanc Summit, Chamonix Valley Snow/Mountain Report

Two days ago the Mont Blanc du Tacul... today the Mont Blanc!!!
We were 4 friends, me, Ben, Thomas and Guillaume. We all slept at the Cosmiques hut. The beer, the wine and the genepi are really good there, but you get easily drunk. So next time you have somebe drinks in altitude, be prepared.
We left the hut at 4am. Still dark. The night was clear with no clouds, just the stars. Not very cold too.
We start by climbing the Mont Blanc du Tacul, the conditions were the same as 2 days ago. Then the Mont Maudit, at this time the sun was starting to show is first rays.
The passage of the Col du Maudit is always a little bit technical, but there is some fixes ropes to help you.
And then finally the Mont Blanc. Even being acclimatized, those last 300m are always hard. But we managed to climb them.
We reached the summit at 8.10am... not bad.
The route is well tracked and the conditions are great.
Then we prepared the paragliding wings and... fly fly fly!!!
We landed at Les Houches this time and we had to change our flight plan because of the interdiction to fligh in the Mont Blanc Massif. But all went ok.
See the photos.
