    What an adventure! Thank you so much for watching, if you've got any questions about the experience feel free to leave them in the comments! I'm thinking I'll do a follow up video if theres enough interest! Theres so much to unpack from this trip. Enjoy! Dave xxx 🥳

    Good for you. I climbed the same route with 2 of my mother's cousins from Val d`Isere in 1964. It was the 1st time I'd been that high. I was hooked, and retired from climbing in my late 50's (now 75). It led me to altitude on 4 continents, including Everest in `77, so I hope you will continue our traditions and culture as Alpinists. As we say, Je te passe le flambeau!

    Well done. That one's on the list! I just did Mt. Whitney here in California (tallest mountain in the lower 48 states) at 14,505' to start my bucket list. I did it in one go. Looking forward to an extended experience like the one you had. Will do Mt. Blanc in '24 or '25.

    Loved this. I climbed Mont Blanc 20 years ago and filmed it, had fantastic footage from the summit at dusk. Bizarrely the camera was stolen 2 days later from our quite remote gite and I lost all of the footage. So was great to see yours. How cool are the guides, "it ees better not to step in the hole" haha.

    Wonderful video! Thank you, David, I really enjoyed it. Your smile and enthusiasm were phenomenal, even in the short section of grave danger when the massive rock was coming down. Makes me think that I could do this since you mention you're a beginner. One key point is that you hike and are extremely fit, not to mention, you have youth! I'm bookmarking this company, they're offering €50 discount if you mention your trip. I went to their website, so many of their videos are of men, do women not sign up with them for some reason? Regardless, your trip was exemplary, thank you for posting.
    Also, a little more video of life in the hut would have been of interest. Again, many thanks.

As I understand you carry all your belongings throughout the trip? Not sure if you have video with your kit for these treks but would love to see as require some upgrade on mine 😊
