Vertebrate Publishing Mont Blanc The Finest Routes climbing guide

Mont Blanc – The Finest Routes is a collection of the 100 must-do climbing routes in the Mont Blanc massif. The author, Philippe Batoux, a mountaineer and alpine guide, provides a detailed description of each route, including the history, atmosphere, and all the technical information needed to tackle it. The written descriptions are accompanied by photographic diagrams, detailed topos, and evocative photographs that enhance the large format of the book. The routes are selected for the quality of the rock, the reliability of the equipment on site, the beauty of the environment, the prestige of the summit, and the enthusiasm that the route inspires. The selection favors modern itineraries, from historical classics to more recent lines, arranged by increasing difficulty.
