Day 3 to 6 - In and around the "Col du Geant"

We have had 3 great days in the mountains. 4 Summits in 3 days and one that really sticks out. The "Dent du Geant". My first 4000m peak.

I had written a full blog entry and for some reason it just crashed out and I lost it all so short and sweet will have to do. Sorry!!!!

We climbed the "Aiguille Marbree" then camped under the "Dent de Geant". Made an early start on that and summited around 1330. Packed up camp and made our way over the glacier to spend the night in the "Torino Hut".

We made an early start to got 2 summits in,  the "Aiguille D'Entreves" and the "Aiguille du Toule" which were both really comfortable, easy mixed climbs.
