Today our Mont Blanc teams (12 clients and 6 guides) all ascended the Arête des Cosmiques, as their final training climb before going to Mont Blanc tomorrow. This is a great route that features all the elements you will encounter on Mont Blanc; steep snow, couloirs, rock with crampons, big exposure, and high altitude. Our groups all enjoyed today, and this stands them in good stead for their the ascent. Some even combined the climb with the Arête à Laurence which leads up to the Cosmiques hut, before the Cosmiques. View photos of the route at; http://picasaweb.google.com/IcicleUK/AreteDesCosmiques
