Thank you. I really appreciate your kind words. I wasn’t scared because there were other climbers around me all the way up. This definitely made me feel more calm and safe. The only moment I felt a little bit afraid was before passing the Grand Couloir on my way down but I just had to do it anyway. Greetings from Bulgaria.
Congrats on the summit! The highest toilets in Europe should be inside the Margherita Hut, on top of Signalkuppe (Punta Gnifetti), 4554m in Monte Rosa!
Thanks! Yes it is possible to “hike” Mont Blanc via Gouter Route without a harness, rope and etc. The most technical part is between Tete Rousse and Gouter hut, where there is a fixed metal rope on the steepest rocks, but these parts definitely can be passed without a climbing equipment. Helmet is must though, mostly in case of falling rocks. I think it is good to have a lightweight harness and a few carabiners just in case of emergency.
Well done dude, great video about the whole way, i've really enjoyed to watch it, thanks for that!It was a bit higher than the Vitosha😉 Keep goin' you do it well!
Благодаря. За аклиматизация не съм правил нищо специално. 3 месеца преди изкачването живеех на 1000 метра надморска височина и в свободното време правех преходи до върхове с максимална височина 2400метра.
@Velislav Stoev, 13:52, you are wrong :) The highest toilet in Europe is at Margherita hut in Italy (4554 m) I have been in both places, but used only the one at Margherita hut :)
Thanks for this nice video sharing your journey in this very scenic place. You show very well how mountainering / climbing to the top can be done with pleasure where every moment is beautiful. And without searching for arrtifical & dangerous performance goals increasing exposure to risk. You enjoyed and did respect the Montains and it give you gave all they can offer.
Thank you for your kind words. I’m really happy that you understood the video the way you are saying. Your comment means a lot to me. Wish you all the best! Thanks again 😇
Thanks a lot. Really appriciate your comment. It took me approximately 5hours to go down from the summit to Tete Rousse hut. Let`s say i was on the top at 12:00 and at Tete Rousse hut at 17:00. I stayed there overnight and the next morning i hiked down to Nid d'aigle tramstation for around 2 hours. I was thinking to go all the way down to Les Houches after the summit, but i was very exausted and it would be a bad idea. I got lucky that they had a free bed for me at Tete Rousse that day, because i didn`t have a reservation.
Hey thank you! Yes i will tell you. Cable car + train - around 50 euro round trip. One night in Tete Rousse hut - around 60/65 euro. Food in the huts: dinner - 30/35 euro, breakfast - 15/20 euro, water 1.5 litres - 7/8 euro, beer = 6/8 euros. A good option for saving money is to take a lot of food and water with you. Cheers.
You should have success if you are well prepared. Weather is another big factor but you cannot change, so Good luck! I didn`t spot any other solo climbers on the same day, but there were a groups of climbers without a guides.
A great film. I did the climb in 1987 going the final stage on my own as both my mates got mountain sickness, not often talked about, and could not go to the top. However without them I would not have made it. They taught me to climb railway bridges in Milton Keynes and then we did a training climb the day before the big one where I used crampons and ice axe for the first time. They were very encouraging and this gave me great confidence in my own abilities to meet the challenge. We went up the usual route staying at the the huts before coming down with one mate to the cable car. Going down was as bigger challenge with melting snow and ice and crevasses to cross. We realised we were near the cable car when we suddenly came across a naked young woman sunbathing on the rocks. I had been lucky because the weather had been ideal for the climb for the first time that season and it did not last long afterwards forcing my mates to try unsuccessfully to find better climbs in Switzerland before going home early. Following the climb I saw Stephen Roche win the Tour de France in the Alps, travelled on steam trains in the Ardeche and paid a fleeting visit to Paris and Versailles before catching the bus home to Milton Keynes. A great time in France indeed. In 1989 my new wife and I did the Tour of Mont Blanc - another great experience and highly recommended.
Hey, thanks for your comment and for sharing your story. It sounds like a very good experience. Tour of Mont Blanc is in my to do list as well. Congrats for your achievements. Have a good one :)
Loved the video! Both showing the beauty and the harsh reality of Mont Blanc. Would you say that its «safe» to summit without a guide? Best wishes from Norway
Thanks for your comment and sorry for the late answer. Well for sure it will be safer with a guide but i won’t say it’s not safe without a guide either. You need to have some mountain experience though. What really made me feel better is that i was surrounded by other climbers all the time during the climb. Best wishes from Bulgaria.
Wow! Great video and a fantastic achievement on climbing to the highest point of Europe. It’s breathtaking just standing at the bottom and looking up at it.
Nice video! Can you tell me when the reservation for the Gouter Hut opened this year? I wanna climb Mont Blanc next year but I'm worried that I'm gonna miss the day the reservation opens.
Thanks. I don’t know when the reservations will be open, but don’t worry even if you miss the first day. I made my reservation only 2 months before the climb. I just had to follow the hut’s availability every day and wait for the right moment. A lot of people are changing or canceling their bookings every day, so i’m positive if you are checking often you will make the reservation you want.
I booked by myself. There is only one way to do it. montblanc.ffcam.fr/GB_reservation-tout-public.html This is the site. Make a quick registration and follow the steps. Also they have very useful information about the huts, food, prices and etc.
Thanks! Yes It is better to be in a good shape. Just to be easier and to feel better. Aerobic runs and long hikes with a backpack are a good workouts. Good luck with your attempt!
@@velislavstoev I'd like to think I'm in good shape - just 70 years on this planet. You didn't seem to be carrying a heavy pack. Do you know it's weight?
Respect to you! To be honest my backpack was pretty heavy on my hike to Tete Rousse. I was carrying additional 5-6 liters of water and food, just to save some money :D so it was 16-17kg to Tete Rousse and 10-11kg on summiting day witch is normal I guess.
You must be a bit insane to do Mont Blanc as your first 4000m peak - and solo! But congratulations that´s a big achievement :) I´m looking to do it solo next summer too.
Many thanks! I had a big desire to do it and also I was feeling in control during the climb. Yes it is a bit insane but luckily it all ended well. Stay safe and Good luck with your plan. It is an amazing journey.
Браво, готино видео! Аз изпитвам известни дилеми дали да започна да си снимам видеата на английски или да продължавам на бг и къде ще има повече аудитория. Очевидно на английски е по-добре :) .
Hier hat es Gott besonders schön gemacht! Ich bin dort von Zeit zu Zeit auch immer wieder gern. Den Zugangsweg probiere ich auch mal.🖖 sehr schöne Eindrücke, gut gefilmt.
Es ist eine sehr schöne Gegend. Viel Glück bei deiner Reise. Sicher sein! Danke für deinen Kommentar. (Entschuldigung für mein Deutsch. Ich habe Google Übersetzer verwendet)
👍 Great video. Thanks to great remembering. I was at Mt.Blanc on August 1993 and 1995. First day we climbed from Nid d' Aigle tram station to old Ref.Goûter. Grand Culoar was completely under snow. We slept behind ridge in tents and iglú. 2nd day we climbed top of Mt.Blanc and returned back to Chamonix. By the way, your english is pretty good. 👋 Gritings from 🇨🇿 to 🇧🇬
Hey, thanks for your great comment. Congrats to you for the climb. I’m sure it was harder to do it back in the 90’s. ( i mean heavier and limited equipment, sleeping in tents and the weather conditions ). I was born in 1995 by the way :D Again thanks for your kind words. Wish you all the best!
just trying to help, you are pronouncing refuge wrong, you are saying ''re fu geeeee'' which is someone who has no home and moves to a new country.... you need to say ''re fooge''
Thank you so much! Your video is absolutely fantastic. Best video describing whole climb on RUclips. Also your other video about necessary clothing and gear to climb superb. after watching both of those videos i am 99% confident to do the climb/hike on my own aswell. The only thing if i look at the weather forecast it is changing every day... I will be traveling from Ireland so it is kind of difficult decision for how long should i go(booking huts and plane tickets). Ideally for 3 days, but in case weather is not great when i am up at Gouter hut, i probably could stay for a night or 2 nights to wait for better weather. But in case i will be lucky and summit on the second day like you then i would have to just waste 2 nights. By the way your English is 👍 Thanks again for such a informative videos about the climb.
Hey, thank you so much for your comment. It means a lot to me to hear the videos were helpful. You are right the weather forecast is changing every day and this is one of the things that unfortunutelly we cannot predict. I`m currently living in Chamonix area and even the one day forecasts are not accurate sometimes, what to say about longer period... It is always good to have at least one extra day. I wish you luck to do it on your first day and if so don`t count the extra days as wasted. Thanks again and good luck!

Вася, като видях заглавието и не можах да повярвам, че наистина се е случило! Напълни ми душата с хубави емоции! Това е просто велико, супер много се радвам и все така нагоре, каквото мечтаеш да изкачиш и винаги да завършва благополучно!!! 🤘💪⛰️
Thank you! I didn’t melt any snow. I took 4 bottles (1.5 litres) from the town when I started. One of it was with electrolytes. This was enough for the way up. I bought only one more bottle from Gouter hut on my way down. This was enough for me.
I see that you had scarpa ribelle synthetic version. Your feet were comfortable? Not cold? I am deciding between ribelle and scarpa manta tech. Thank you
Hey thanks for asking. My feet felt really comfortable, not cold at all. Ribelle light are one of the lightest winter shoes and for me is more useful even in low altitude mountain. Manta tech is for sure the warmer shoe but sometimes when it gets warm outside, your feet can be sweating which is not the best feeling. We are all different so i can only share my own experience. The socks are very important as well. I used icebreaker merino ski socks. Also it’s mandatory the winter shoe to be at least a half or one size bigger than your daily shoes. This makes a big difference up in the mountains!
@@velislavstoev I have to resolve similar Issue. Usually I hike lower altitude around 3000m. But this year I would like to to kazbeg 5000m and mont blanc. You had good wather at mont blanc. Do you think that in case of bad weather on mont blanc scarpa ribelle st would still support it? Etc, deep snow
@@velislavstoev there is aslo scarpa ribelle tech - 200g of Primaloft insulation and integrated gaitors. Strongly thinking to take theese to kazbeg, mont blanc and ararat (around 5100) in Turkey
@amadarpumpa3496 hello! Well I think ribelle tech will perform better in deep snow, but i’m not sure that they are much warmer than ribelle light. It was -3 to -7 When I climbed Mont Blanc and no deep snow at all.
@@velislavstoev I like hiking a lot, I did the TMB route, but made till aguile de’midi. What grear do you need to climb to top? How much does it cost? Should you be a pro climber? thanks 🙏
@orrimoch5226 I have a video about gear, budget and tips for reaching the top of Mont Blanc. ruclips.net/video/2f3mznCwpXQ/видео.html You doesn`t need to be a pro climber. There is no real climbing on the classic route ( the one I did). There is steep parts between the the huts (Tete Rousse and Gouter) but it is definetly not climbing. Of course you will feel more confident if you have done some glacier walking and / or a bit of begginer alpine course. This will makes you more confident.
Браво Velislav. A great achievement and a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing. I was in Les Houches a few weeks after you and loved the place. I didn't dare the big one as I'm quite new to mountains. Maybe one day. Keep climbing, keep safe and keep sharing!!!
@@velislavstoev Yes. And I did it solo without guides, ropes etc. And i've been marching all the way up and down from Les Houches. I reached the sommet, you didn't ;)
@@TheOmomierz :D Yes, Okay. Congrats to you! I just want to let you know that you are not the person who can say is my climb real or not. One of my dreams come true and i feel happy. Thanks again for your comment and have a nice day.
@@velislavstoev oh yeah, if you have had a dream about going more than half of the way by a cable car and a train I can admit that you made your dream come true 🤣 You could take a helicopter as well and just fly to the sommet and then tell everyone how you reached the top pf the Mont Blanc 🤣
@@TheOmomierz you have no right to devalue other people's achievements. the real climb is after the train stops. anything else is a long way and a waste of time. don't envy for the good movie. thanks for the movie, I'm sure the rockfall in the Big Couloir got the adrenaline pumping to the max.
Congratulations!! I hope I'll be on that mountain some day. I have climbed the highest mountains in México and I love It. "Pico de Orizaba" summit Is 5,636 meters above the sea level. I really recomend you to come and visit mexican mountains. ✌️🏔️💯
Thank you! Congratulations to you as well. Wish you to have a chance and climb successful Mont Blanc. I would love to come in Mexico. Thanks again for your comment. All the best!

very nice video - I am watching videos like your to prepare for going there myself - thank you
Hey thank you! Yes it is very useful to watch videos. Soon i will make a video about gear, budget and tips. Good luck.
Congrats on the summit!
The highest toilets in Europe should be inside the Margherita Hut, on top of Signalkuppe (Punta Gnifetti), 4554m in Monte Rosa!
Thank you very much for your comment and information!
Who gives a shit 😆
Hello, great video! A question: is it possible to ascend Mont Blanc just by hiking, meaning no real climbing, use of climbing harness?
Thanks! Yes it is possible to “hike” Mont Blanc via Gouter Route without a harness, rope and etc. The most technical part is between Tete Rousse and Gouter hut, where there is a fixed metal rope on the steepest rocks, but these parts definitely can be passed without a climbing equipment. Helmet is must though, mostly in case of falling rocks.
I think it is good to have a lightweight harness and a few carabiners just in case of emergency.
Well done dude, great video about the whole way, i've really enjoyed to watch it, thanks for that!It was a bit higher than the Vitosha😉 Keep goin' you do it well!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks a lot! Good luck!
Яко видео и страхотен переход, браво! За акклиматизация нещо правил ли си специално?

@Velislav Stoev,
13:52, you are wrong :) The highest toilet in Europe is at Margherita hut in Italy (4554 m)
I have been in both places, but used only the one at Margherita hut :)
Yes, okay. Thanks for sharing the information.
nicely done... can you please post the name of music artist you used? Bulgarian band? :)
Thank you ! Yes of course: La Roux - In For The Kill. I guess they are English band :)
Thanks for this nice video sharing your journey in this very scenic place. You show very well how mountainering / climbing to the top can be done with pleasure where every moment is beautiful. And without searching for arrtifical & dangerous performance goals increasing exposure to risk. You enjoyed and did respect the Montains and it give you gave all they can offer.
Thank you for your kind words. I’m really happy that you understood the video the way you are saying. Your comment means a lot to me. Wish you all the best! Thanks again 😇
This is the best video about Climbing Mont Blanc I have seen yet!! But I was just wandering, approximately how long did it take you to climb down ?
Thanks a lot. Really appriciate your comment. It took me approximately 5hours to go down from the summit to Tete Rousse hut. Let`s say i was on the top at 12:00 and at Tete Rousse hut at 17:00. I stayed there overnight and the next morning i hiked down to Nid d'aigle tramstation for around 2 hours.

I got lucky that they had a free bed for me at Tete Rousse that day, because i didn`t have a reservation.
great video, but your sound quality is terrible high up. You need better audio kit to make mountain videos. closed mask microphones
Okay, thanks for your advice! Can you recommend a good audio kit?
Well done. Great video just using your iPhone. And ignore all the tossers posting negative comments.
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate your comment.
Hello, great video! I have a question, how many cost all the trip? I mean the huts, the train, the car cable and the food.
Thank you so much
Hey thank you! Yes i will tell you.
Cable car + train - around 50 euro round trip.
One night in Tete Rousse hut - around 60/65 euro.
Food in the huts: dinner - 30/35 euro, breakfast - 15/20 euro, water 1.5 litres - 7/8 euro, beer = 6/8 euros.
A good option for saving money is to take a lot of food and water with you. Cheers.
Enjoyed video very much. Would like to do this. Excellent English!
Thank you very much! Go for it.
I'm thinking about climbing alone next summer as well. Did you spot some other solo climbers at all?
You should have success if you are well prepared. Weather is another big factor but you cannot change, so Good luck! I didn`t spot any other solo climbers on the same day, but there were a groups of climbers without a guides.

Congratulations! :D Really a very cool and informative video! May I ask you which camera(s) you used for filming?
Thanks a lot! I have used Iphone 11 for filming the video.
Really enjoyed that , thank you for posting. We did the Tmb this August. Not keen on rock falls tho
I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the video. Thank you! Congrats for doing TMB, I would like to do it as well.
A great film. I did the climb in 1987 going the final stage on my own as both my mates got mountain sickness, not often talked about, and could not go to the top. However without them I would not have made it. They taught me to climb railway bridges in Milton Keynes and then we did a training climb the day before the big one where I used crampons and ice axe for the first time. They were very encouraging and this gave me great confidence in my own abilities to meet the challenge.

We realised we were near the cable car when we suddenly came across a naked young woman sunbathing on the rocks. I had been lucky because the weather had been ideal for the climb for the first time that season and it did not last long afterwards forcing my mates to try unsuccessfully to find better climbs in Switzerland before going home early.
Following the climb I saw Stephen Roche win the Tour de France in the Alps, travelled on steam trains in the Ardeche and paid a fleeting visit to Paris and Versailles before catching the bus home to Milton Keynes. A great time in France indeed. In 1989 my new wife and I did the Tour of Mont Blanc - another great experience and highly recommended.

I see that you had scarpa ribelle synthetic version. Your feet were comfortable? Not cold? I am deciding between ribelle and scarpa manta tech. Thank you
Hey thanks for asking. My feet felt really comfortable, not cold at all. Ribelle light are one of the lightest winter shoes and for me is more useful even in low altitude mountain. Manta tech is for sure the warmer shoe but sometimes when it gets warm outside, your feet can be sweating which is not the best feeling. We are all different so i can only share my own experience. The socks are very important as well. I used icebreaker merino ski socks. Also it’s mandatory the winter shoe to be at least a half or one size bigger than your daily shoes. This makes a big difference up in the mountains!
@@velislavstoev I have to resolve similar Issue. Usually I hike lower altitude around 3000m. But this year I would like to to kazbeg 5000m and mont blanc. You had good wather at mont blanc. Do you think that in case of bad weather on mont blanc scarpa ribelle st would still support it? Etc, deep snow
@@velislavstoev there is aslo scarpa ribelle tech - 200g of Primaloft insulation and integrated gaitors. Strongly thinking to take theese to kazbeg, mont blanc and ararat (around 5100) in Turkey
@@velislavstoev what temperature more less did you have duringthe ascent to mont blanc?
@amadarpumpa3496 hello! Well I think ribelle tech will perform better in deep snow, but i’m not sure that they are much warmer than ribelle light. It was -3 to -7 When I climbed Mont Blanc and no deep snow at all.
Great video! Great English! 🫶
Thanks. Glad you liked it!
@@velislavstoev I like hiking a lot, I did the TMB route, but made till aguile de’midi.
What grear do you need to climb to top? How much does it cost? Should you be a pro climber? thanks 🙏
@orrimoch5226 I have a video about gear, budget and tips for reaching the top of Mont Blanc. ruclips.net/video/2f3mznCwpXQ/видео.html
You doesn`t need to be a pro climber. There is no real climbing on the classic route ( the one I did). There is steep parts between the the huts (Tete Rousse and Gouter) but it is definetly not climbing. Of course you will feel more confident if you have done some glacier walking and / or a bit of begginer alpine course. This will makes you more confident.
Евала, турбо
Мерси, Димак :)
Браво Velislav. A great achievement and a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing.
I was in Les Houches a few weeks after you and loved the place.
I didn't dare the big one as I'm quite new to mountains. Maybe one day.
Keep climbing, keep safe and keep sharing!!!
Many thanks for your words! Wish you to spend more time in the mountains and to follow your goals. All the best from Bulgaria.
Svaka ti cast!
💪💪👊💪💪
Thank you!
Wc monte Rosa at 4550
Yes that’s right.

Getting a cable can and a train durimg ascension to the Mont Blanc is lame and can't be considered as a real climb ;)
Ok, i got the point. Can i ask have you been on Mont Blanc ?
@@velislavstoev Yes. And I did it solo without guides, ropes etc. And i've been marching all the way up and down from Les Houches. I reached the sommet, you didn't ;)
@@TheOmomierz :D Yes, Okay. Congrats to you! I just want to let you know that you are not the person who can say is my climb real or not. One of my dreams come true and i feel happy. Thanks again for your comment and have a nice day.
@@velislavstoev oh yeah, if you have had a dream about going more than half of the way by a cable car and a train I can admit that you made your dream come true 🤣 You could take a helicopter as well and just fly to the sommet and then tell everyone how you reached the top pf the Mont Blanc 🤣
@@TheOmomierz you have no right to devalue other people's achievements. the real climb is after the train stops. anything else is a long way and a waste of time. don't envy for the good movie. thanks for the movie, I'm sure the rockfall in the Big Couloir got the adrenaline pumping to the max.
Congratulations!! I hope I'll be on that mountain some day. I have climbed the highest mountains in México and I love It. "Pico de Orizaba" summit Is 5,636 meters above the sea level. I really recomend you to come and visit mexican mountains. ✌️🏔️💯
Thank you! Congratulations to you as well. Wish you to have a chance and climb successful Mont Blanc. I would love to come in Mexico. Thanks again for your comment. All the best!
Nice Projekt
Thanks
