DAY 0 |
Meet for a gear check at your hotel in Chamonix. Enjoy a meal together at a local restaurant. |

Day climb from Chamonix. Weather, conditions, and the group will determine what we start with. There are many, many, many (did we say many?) options. |
DAY 3 |
Take the Aiguille du Midi telepherique to the Vallee Blanche to climb and stay the night at the Torino Hut. 3 course dinner, breakfast, warm beds, and all we have to do is show up with a daypack. |

From the Torino Hut, climb the Dent du Geant, Pyramid Du Tacul, Tour Ronde, Aiguille d'Entreves, or another climb. Stay the night at the Torino Hut. |
DAY 5 |
Climb another classic on our way back to the Aiguille du Midi. Descend to Chamonix. |
DAY 6 |
Our big climb of the trip. Some options include: Mt. Blanc via the Trois Sommets Traverse, the Gouter Ridge from the Tete Rousse Hut, or the Bionassay Traverse, the Grandes Jorasses, Mt. Maudit via the Frontier Ridge, Mont Blanc du Tacul, Aiguile de Moine, Aiguille d'Argentiere, Aiguille de Chardonnet, Chamonix Aiguilles, and many more. There is an extra day here to allow for rest or weather as needed, or to try something longer and more difficult if the group is capable. |
