The Mont-Blanc (4810m) by Tête Rousse's refuge (normal route)

 

Waiting the TMB in the Fayet...

 

 

Bub makes her backpack at the "Nid d'Aigle"

 

 

The sky begins to become clear while we climb the slope which leads to the Tete Rousse's refuge

 

 

The Rognes' shed, behind us

 

 

Our pace is slowed done by our heavy bags...

 

 

Our arrival to the Tete Rousse's refuge is encouraged by a bright interval on Bionnassay's peak

 

 

We just have to cross the glacier before installing the tent

 

 

The refuge is crowded, so we will spend the night under the tent !

 

 

It is still daylight outside, but it is time to go to bed... A hard day wait on us tomorrow !

 

 

We get up at 0:15, and leave the tent at 1:00, but it was impossible to take photos before the pass of "Dôme du Goûter", where the first glimmers of the day become to appear

 

 

The dawn's wind is rather cold...

 

 

A beautiful daybreak from the refuge Vallot

 

 

A water's mouthfull quite cold before going on...

 

 

A coloured daybreak on the Mont Maudit

 

 

We go progressively away from the refuge Vallot...

 

 

while it is beginning to be daylight on the Fiz's range below us...

 

 

... and a few sunbeams manage to filter through the dawn's clouds

 

 

There are plenty of mountaineers between the Bosses' ridge and the Mont-Blanc's summit

 

 

The aiguille du Midi and Chamonix's valley seem already so small

 

 

We climb the second bump slowly because of the oxygen's lack

 

 

The Bosses' ridge and Bionnassay's one below us...

 

 

... while a lot of mountaineers go down to the valley

 

 

Well, not all the mountaineers ! Some of them have not manage to reach the summit, the ridge leading to the top is never-ending !

 

 

The first sunbeams on Miage's domes and Tré-la-Tête's peaks

 

 

Bub in the shadow

 

 

It is now the Bosses and the Goûter's dome which appear small to us

 

 

Bionnassay's ridge and the breaked cornice

 

 

First photo of Bub at the top of the Mont-Blanc

 

 

Withe the Gouter's dome below us, and Sallanches in the background

 

 

A beautiful photo : my mother Bub and me at the top

 

 

Courmayeur's Mont-Blanc behind me

 

 

The Goûter's dome, Sallanches, and me

 

 

Bub, always on form, even up there !

 

 

With the aiguille du Midi and the Mont Maudit behind us

 

 

A last photo before going down...

 

 

This time, all the footprints are in the sun, but this one heats us hardly a little

 

 

The famous break at the refuge Vallot !

 

 

The little climb of the Gouter's dome...

 

 

... before turning over in order to see our majestic conquest !

 

 

The descent to Gouter's peak, with the Houches' pistes just below

 

 

The impressive seracs, and Bionnassay's peak

 

 

Some mountaineers on the Aiguille du Gouter

 

 

There is big risk...

Just before the Gouter's refuge...
