Lunch Trail Run

“I left at midnight from our camping ground in Courmayeur, feeling good and rested, to start the climb to Grandes Jorasses with a great team: Mathéo, Mitch Lanne and Bastien Lardat. 

Even though it was the middle of the night, everyone was super happy to be here and to kick off the day in good company! 

All of them know the area well and I was glad to have them for the more technical climbs of the day, as the conditions can get a bit tricky in this part of the Alps. 

We summited the Grandes Jorasses ridge (Pointe Walker, Pointe Whymper, Pointe Croz, Pointe Elena, Pointe Margherita), then Dôme de Rochefort, Aiguille de Rochefort and finally Dent du Géant, before stopping for a break at Rifugio Torino.

After that, I left the team to go solo to the Refuge du Couvercle where I arrived 18:22 hours later after we started climbing. 

With 28 kilometers and 4200 meters of elevation for today, I have now climbed 8 more 4000 meter peaks, bringing the total to 59 since starting the Alpine Connections project.”
