We start from the Aiguille du Midi (3,842m)— straight into the high alpine.
From there, a dense web of options unfolds: ridges, mixed gullies, steep ski lines, classic and hidden couloirs.

Day one sets the rhythm: reading the terrain, committing to the right lines, descending toward our overnight base.
Maps out, gear drying, decisions sharpened.

Day two is written overnight — by weather, snow, and what the mountain allows.
