Description

Join me for one of the rock climbing experiences of a lifetime in the majestic Grand Capucin. This red granite tower is an emblem of this part of the Mont Blanc Massif area. Come along this 4-day program for an unforgettable tour!

The Grand Capucin is the most iconic granite climbing summit in the area of Chamonix. This amazing rock obelisk on the Glacier du Géant offers excellent granite and quality climbing. To begin our program, I will meet you precisely here, at Chamonix.

On Day 1, we will begin with a warm up route. The goal here will be to get a feeling of the granite and start the acclimatization. The most likely route for this day is the Kohlmann route on the Aiguille du Midi.

Next, on Day 2, we will climb on the Grand Capucin “satellites”, like Salluard on Pointe Adolphe Rey.

After these two first days on granite, on altitude, on Day 3 we will move to the Torino Hut to spend the night there, in preparation for the most challenging part of our program.

On Day 4, the main adventure takes place. After an early start, I will guide you as we climb the famous Swiss Route on the impressive Grand Capucin. In the afternoon, we will return to Chamonix.

The Swiss Route is a very steep route, with only “moderate” grandes of up to climbing levels 6a/6b.

This program is only available for private guiding groups, of a maximum of 2 climbers. This program requires previous rock climbing experience (6b level) and a good fitness level.

Mountain Guide

Hello! I was born in Patagonia, Argentina, and started practicing mountaineering from a very young age. Today I live in the mecca of alpinism, Chamonix, France. I work as a full time mountain guide here in the Alps, in Patagonia and in any place I get the chance to go to.

Whether it is rock climbing in the sun, or ice and mixed routes in the cold north faces in the Alps, I do everything with passion. Glacier travels, icefalls climbing, freeride, ski touring... Luckily the mountain gives us many choices.

I invite you to join me in any of my trips and activities!

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
