08:00 am* After a solid breakfast and an overview briefing of the upcoming mission we head to Les Grands Montets and the Argentière basin.

There, the rope teams split up, each moving toward their objectives for the day, before regrouping at the Argentière Hut, where we spend the night. 

06:00 pm* The evening is shaped by film screenings and talks focused on mountain heritage and our relationship with the alpine environment.

5:00 am* : early breakfast. Today is the big day.
From the Argentière Hut, several major routes are on the table: if the weather allows and conditions are aligned we aim for Petit Viking on Pointe Domino, the Charlet–Straton Ridge, Glacier du Milieu, Col des Cristaux,... 

05:00 pm* The day ends back at the Argentière Hut — rinsed, tired, but with stars in our eyes.
The good mindset to reflect on our role: how do we act to preserve this playground ? in partnership with Protect Our Winters.

A second night at altitude awaits. Tonight, everyone will sleep like a rock.

7:00 am* : A final day to end on a high note.
We take a new route back to Chamonix — Col du Passon, Trois Cols, or alternative variants depending on conditions — to conclude the experience where it all began.

5:00 pm* : Debriefing — Aperitivo in Chamonix 

*timings may change depending conditions, weather or stamina.
