Despite having seen several videos ( I must say all very beautiful ) on the ascension of the Grand Muveran, I had not found any that made me understand all the steps and directions to take...
So :
Giò Canepa present :
100% GRAND MUVERAN ( All the ascent step by step )
01:22 It's 11 AM on Sunday 28 August 2022, I arrive from Ovronaz having taken one of the first chairlifts of the morning to be here now, at Cabane Rambert 2580 mt. with a good margin of time available for my first contact with the Grand...
01:44 It would have been very useful to have a video that would make me better understand the type of climb, on RU-vid I found some good videos but none that met my expectations.
2:16 In the evaluation of mountaineering excursions, favorable conditions are assumed, i.e. good weather, good visibility, dry ground, fresh snow or snowfields in suitable conditions, etc.
02:35 This is the normal situation for several paths that lead to high-altitude huts.
Under these conditions it is not necessary to have equipment for mountaineering ascents.
02:54 However it goes without saying that in excursions like this, in case of precarious conditions, a minimum of equipment ( safety material for stringing, crampons and ice ax ) and basic knowledge on their use can be very useful.
03:29 There is a frequent misunderstanding that leads to delicate situations, which consists in assuming that the trekking it ends where the mountaineering ascents begin.
04:05 In reality a high-level hiking tour of difficulty ( T5, T6 ) is usually more demanding than a mountaineering excursion with degree of difficulty F.
04:38 A substantial difference compared to easy ascents is that with a T5 or T6 itinerary it is rarely, if ever, possible to ensure progression with ropes or similar aids.
05:16 so it is absolutely necessary to master the terrain on which you are, which presupposes a high level both technical and mental.
23:04 The Closet : Attack !
30:04 The Crack ( Cheminée )
33:01 Looking back to memorize where you passed is always good and right, especially if you meet Mrs. Fog...
35:56 Even this fog is coming, the weather report has not changed : GOOD WETHER with 2 suns in PM !
38:56 The Window on the long Traverse.
41:10 In the memory of Anselm Rosenmoller die here at 29 years old...
58:27 Another Window...
01:10:58 The Steps
01:14:50 Always the descent is the most delicate part of all climbing...
01:21:53 Exceptional view over the valais reaching the Leman lake.
01:22:02 A special effect NOT to be missed !
01:23:30 Thanks for watching !
01:23:54 Ciao !
