Default Mont Blanc - Grand Mulets Route



I don't know if you are following the news from Chamonix but 3
climbers have been killed by Seracs in the Grand Mulets area this
week. They were part of a group on a training course coming down from
le Mt Blanc with a guide.


Hadn't been following the news no. Sad news indeed.

What's the snow level like? It looks incredibly warm out there with the
FL being from 3600 to 4100m! Anything left at the Midi?


talked to my cousin there (guide) told me its very dangerous conditions due
to melting ice.
seracs are very dangerous and he said he would never dare the grand mulet
route in this conditions

Looks like the comments in the previous posts bout this choice of route were
sadly verified.
