Grand Couloir, the feared route to Mont Blanc
Mountain | reviews | videos | photos
On the normal route to Mont Blanc you have to pass the infamous Grand Couloir. This is a place with very frequent rockfall. I have been there several times and have seen many near accidents. Only two days before my last visit a climber was hit by a large rock and died crossing the Grand Couloir.

Sorry But those guys are dumb as fuckk. U NEVER cross the couloir that slowly and the worst idea is to go attached to the safety rope. If something happens the all three of them are im danger. They are Standing in the middle of the couloir waiting.. like what the hell.

very dangerous, but it's the fastest route to the summit.

The Couloir is not that bad if you know what your doing, which alot of people don't. Cross it just before sunrise if you are summiting from Tete Rousse and move quickly and you will be fine.

I find difficult to understand , why no more people chose the mullets route , it's safer and more beautifull , may be a bit harder but all in all much better.
