Climbing Mont Blanc 4810 m

Tomorrow 15.06.2013, i will be Climbing Mont Blanc the highest peak in Alps 4810m,  we will  drive to Chamonix  and head up for the Tête Rousse.  A cable car and a train will lift us up to the Nid D’aigle station. 
From there we walk up to Tête Rousse and then we'll have to walk. (Approximately 3 to 5 hours depending how high the train is going to take us
As most of the people start just after midnight, we’ll sleep a little bit longer and we leave the hut just before the sunrise. With a late start, we avoid the crowds and we will enjoy the view during the ascent. The first step is the ridge du Goûter, not really technical but required to stay focus. It’s around 700 meters to climb in scrambling rocks. At the top of the ridge we’ll do a break à the Goûter Hut. Then, another 2 hours leads us up the Dôme du Gouter. From there we will clearly see the Mont-Blanc “Next step is the Vallot bivy, where we’ll have a break again. From there another hours and half to go and we’ll stand on the summit!
