The Contamine on Aguille du Midi

So the day after we had been to The Gorge, me and Eva decided to go up on Aguille du Midi to do the premier multipitch for the summer. The choice of route fell on Contamine on the south face of the Midi

because of the great climbing, the easy approach and the fact that when you’re done you end up just by the lift station again.

The south face of Midi houses roughly about 15-20 multipitches with more than hundreds of variations and the climbing is generally top class. This included with the facts mentioned above makes the place really nice and just as convenient as it could ever be, bearing in mind that from a 1000 meters (village level) to get up on 3848 m and climb a 250 m multipitch you don’t even have to walk more than a 100 m. Unique!

Racking up.

Aiming for the top.

Having a lunch brake before the crack pitch.

And Eva charching up the last burley pitch.

Maybe one of the projekts for the summer is called digital crack..
