If you are a mountaineering lover, this will be an amazing experience for you. Join me on this **2-day program** and get to the summit of this peak!

On day 1, we’ll meet at the **Skyway car park**, have a brief conversation and check the equipment. Then, we’ll go to the **Torino hut** (**3,375 meters**), where we’ll enjoy dinner and spend the night. On day 2, we’ll begin the climb early in the morning and spend around **6-8 hours** on the ascent and descent. First we’ll start with an easy walk and then face the wall of the mountain, where we will find rock and snow sections. Afterwards, we’ll begin a demanding climb with ropes until we reach the summit. Once there, we’ll be able to contemplate beautiful views from **Mont Blanc**, the **Rochefort Arête** and the **Grandes Jorasses**. Finally, we’ll rappel the descent and return to Torino hut.

2-day ascent to Dent du Geant, Mont Blanc

**La Dent du Geant, or Dente del Gigante in Italian, is an impressive mountain in the Western Alps.**

On the border between France and Italy, it’s part of the Mont Blanc massif. And due to its peculiar shape, it is easy to spot at the distance.

On this 2-day adventure, we will have the chance to climb La Dent du Geant and discover beautiful landscapes on the way. On the first day, we will begin with the approach and acclimatization. To this end, we will ascend with the Helbronner cablecar and traverse the Aiguilles Marbrées. That leaves, of course, reaching the summit on the second day!

Keep in mind that you will need prior mountaineering experience to do this challenging ascent. It will involve some rock climbing as well. Additionally, a good fitness level is key.  The beautiful views from the summit will be a well-earned reward.

**Join me on this amazing ascent in the Northern area of the massif of Mont Blanc. The Dent du Geant ascent is an unforgettable mountaineering, rock climbing experience – guaranteed!**

Dent du Geant – Dente del Gigante in Italian – or Giant's Tooth, is a **classic 4000er**, close to the border between France and Italy, over the Glacier du Geant.

Located on the ridge running from Mont Dolent to the peak of Mont Blanc, its neighboring peaks are **Colle del Gigante** (3,359 m) and **Grandes Jorassess** (4,206 m). This impressive rocky spire is considered an icon of the **Mont Blanc group**.

The **Normal Route** ascent refers to the ascent on the **South West face**. Although it is not technically difficult, this can be a strenuous ascent. On the **summit (4,013 m)**, we will reach its famous two tops, only 30 meters apart: the **Punta Sella** (4,009 m) and the **Punta Graham** (4,014 m).

On our way to the top, you will be able to experience incredible views of some of the highest summits in this area, like Mont Blanc, Mont Maudit and Tacul.

This program is available for groups of **1 or 2 climbers**. Climbers need to have a **skill level** from Intermediate to Advanced, some experience on crampons and mixed terrain (rock climbing: 5c / 6a).

Among the **equipment gear** you will need for this program are: crampons, mountain boots suitable for the glacier, ice axe, harness, helmet and belay plate for the abseil.

**Dent de Geant and Rochefort Arete are two very classic mountaineering routes in Chamonix. Join for an incredible 2-day trip!**

**Dent de Geant (4013 m)** is a peak in the **Mont Blanc massif** with a noticeable spear sticking out. The ridge line on the east of this peak is known as **Rochefort Arete**, and it's one of the most beautiful snow ridges in the Alps.

These climbing routes have a **difficulty grade of AD** (Alpine grading system), which means they are **slightly technical.** Because of this, you should have climbing experience at 5c or so, as well as 4 to 5 years of experience in mountaineering on snow mountains.

Furthermore, it's better if you've done some other climbing route in the Alps, like Cosmique Ridge or Pointe Lachenal.

As regards your fitness level, you should be able to move for 10 hours with a 7 kg backpack on snow ridges, including some rocky sections.

##### There are two options for our itinerary:

1.  Start from **Aiguille du Midi**, stay overnight at **Torino hut** and do the route on day 2.
    
2.  Drive over to **Courmayeur,** do the route on day 1 and stay overnight at Torino hut after the climb.
    

This will depend on the conditions and weather. If we were to start from Aiguille du Midi, then we should start very early on day 2, whilst it’s still dark. Then, after summiting, we can descend by Helbronner and go back to Chamonix.

**Do you want to be a part of this 2-day trip on Mont Blanc massif? Please, contact me! I have available dates between 27 July and 8 August.**

**You can also take a look at other mountaineering trips, like a** [**1-day trip in La Tour Ronde**](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/climbing-in-the-alps/) **or** [**alpine climbing in Petite Aiguille Verte.**](https://www.explore-share.com/trip/alpine-climbing-petite-aiguille-verte/)

Aiguille du midi. At 6 am if driving over to Courmayeur. If taking the Aiguille du midi lift, we'll meet in time for the first lift.
