The ultimate Mont Blanc Massif tick list! This new edition of this ever popular book reflects the changes in equipment, developments in grading and new problems created by glacial retreat (hastened by global warming). The 100 routes featured are still regarded as bench marks against which any aspiring alpinist can test themselves - a fantastic testament to its author and proof of its enduring relevance.

A guide to the Mont Blanc Massif decribing 67 routes, rock, ice and mixed, in the middle grades (up to F6a). The guide is fully illustrated throughout with both full colour photo-topos and excellent hand-drawn topos, it is packed with great action shots and has a good selection of approach and over-view maps.

Chamonix is the most famous climbing area in Europe. Nowhere else has as much quality rock, spectacular peaks and varied mountaineering history. For most climbers, a trip to Chamonix is an integral part of their climbing and mountaineering career. When there you want to try everything; perfect granite rock routes, magnificent long ridges, intimidating north faces and then also have some valley sport climbing for the ‘rest days’. Or maybe you just want to tick Mont Blanc.
