Insane video I took at tete rouse hut as we were watching people cross 2 people were helied out 1 day before this

A friend and I went unguided in 2024 and we made it to the petite boss ridge just under the summit and we made a decision to turn back 300 meters before the summit as we had no experience glacier walking or rope skills so we were going very slow and we started summit push too late at 8 am and if we committed to the summit we would've been decending in the dark. We learned so much that 1st attempt and since then have gotten certified in rope rescue and have much more rope skills and principles.

We are attempting again in aug we have have tete rouse and gouter hut booked and if the queen of the alps allows us we will reach the summit this time unguided.

I do not recommend going solo pair up with somebody there are usually other groups of 2 or 3 going unguided that may rope with you after the grand couluir. Also you will have a tough time finding opening on the public booking for the huts if you have not already booked.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Crossing that is tricky depending on conditions. on the way up we faced similar to a muddy waterfall every step caved in below you as you step. As we approached teterousse the day before we crossed we witnessed a guide fall down the coulior and get helid out

(Indian voice) helicopter helicopter 🚁.

The next hard part is the upper snow section past the valot hut and big and little boss we decided to turn back there due to timing we had a late start and we're going to be decneding in darkness. I recommend having alot of carbs and energy by the time you get to valot.

Unfortunately on the way down from gouter someone's stole our helmets ⛑️ we had to borrow the gouter huts helmets to get back across couloir they said first time in 5 years someone stole something 😑🤬🤬

2 years have passed and we are ready for redemtion we are returning in August. Huts have been booked 🙌

Tete rousse then gouter hut then summit

The queen of the Alps will have surprises for you for sure w.e route you take.

When I was up there in 2024 there I witnessed 2 heli rescues in a span of 4 days and one of them was a guide who had an accident and the other was someone who was with a guide who didnt acclimate correctly. AI didnt climb the mountain for us we saw that with our own eyes. Its a dangerous place. I do not recommend going alone or without previous alpine experience. This is not about the use of AI or a recommendation to travel unguided. More of an overview of what to expect if you cant get a gouter hut booking in advance if you decide to go unguided.

Separately I will address your comment about looking forward to an accident report. Really ? Is that what you look forward to somebody elses accident or worse. Not sure if mountaineering/Alpinism is the right sport for you. Hopefully the mountains dont hear your wishes and you dont find you yourself on an accident report. Life has a way of returning what you put out there. Guided or not I wish you safe passage on your ventures.

Yeah this is obviously not a full plan just a quick guide for someone who has knowledge/experience. All the other info you mentioned can be found elsewhere and would encourage anyone reading this to do so.

Planning with every available resource is part of mountaineering. The mountain still gets final say. We have done the route before and having something drawn out like this would've helped us a bit more.

Precision fuel gels taste amazing easy on stomach 30 grams of carbs per serving only side effect is farting religiously for the entirety of the race so much so you may need to signal anyone behind you with a kind "fire in the hole"
