Hi All! Today I'll show the past weekend experience: climbing the fully italian glacier Gran Paradiso, in Aosta Valley, Valsavarenche.
The beginning of the trail starts 1.800 masl, then we hiked for about 900d+ to reach Chabot Mountain Hut, at 2.710 masl. We arrived at 4pm, we checked the mountaineering equipement for the next day, then we had dinner.
In the video I reported some manouvers I was doing just to practice, hope you like it. Give me advices if you notice something!
The next morning we woke up at 2.30 AM, to have breakfast, then leave the mountain hut at 4AM. Almost 1h of quite intense hiking to reach the beginnig of the glacier.
Here we equipped with the required material (harness, crampons, ice axe and ropes).
Then we started the ascent to the summit, finding out a lot of crevasses. The trail before the very summit is a mixture of rocks and stones, I removed the crampons to be more agile. Then the fantastic summit, at the end of the video. Hope you like!
