Rhodo-Dindons pilar , 280 m, TD inf, 5+ max>Refuge du Couvercle.

Together with you, in the early morning, we will check over equipment in order that you have just that is necessary in your bag. We meet at 8 o’clock in front of the train station at Montenvers to take the first train up to the Mer de Glace. On the track crossing the glacier to the Couvercle mountain hut we will find a beautiful route called the Dalles de l’Envers which is ideal for making our first contact with the Chamonix granite. We climb is rock climbing shoes and abseil back down the route to spend the night in the “refuge”.

Directe route Contamine, 400 m, TD, 6a max, Est face l’Aiguille du Moine ( 3412 m ).

The 400 metre face of the Est du Moins rises up from the Taléfre glacier, barely 30 mins from the refuge. This route was opened in 1954 by André Contamine and pierre Labrunie and offers clasic climbing with excellent cracks. Again we climb in clibing shoe but this time with out mountain boots in our ruck-sacs allowing us to descend via the “normal route”. We spend will either spend the nigh in Chamonix or back in the refuge depending on the time taken to climb and decsend.
