Mont Blanc - plans afoot

We have now booked up with Adventure Peaks for a crack at Mont Blanc in August.

Advice from postings in the Outdoors Magic forums has prompted us to select a two week trip to ensure we acclimatise properly. The first week will cover alpine training and ascent of some smaller peaks in the Mont Blanc range and the second week will give us a reasonable window to summit the main peak.

As we have no previous winter experience we have also booked a five day introduction to winter mountaineering course in Glen Coe for February
