THE SUMMIT!

Here it is finally, a photo of Lauren and Max on the top of Monte Bianco. They climbed for seven and a half hours to reach the top, from the most difficult way on the French side, from the refugio Cosmiques climbing the crest of Mont Moudit and Mont Blanc de Tacul before arriving at the summit, accompanied by their guide Max. During the night it snowed a lot, but when they began their climb at 2am, the weather was great and it was a wonderful day to view the Alps. After they spent only ten minutes on the summit, they began the hike down the mountain to the refugio. In all they hiked for 13 and a half hours in the ice. Both of them were very tired at the end, but very satisfied to have completed this expedition. They are now thinking of new adventures, maybe in September…….
