Sorry for the chasseur to wait for me.

After arrive near Chamonix, we take the telecabine and the little train for going to the terminus “le nid d’aigle” 2372 m
tomorrow, waking up 1H30
After a good dinner and a short nignt Laurent and me start to climb at 2h of the morning. We stop 10 min inside the “refuge du gouter” 3810 M . We eat and take gore-tex jacket, at the outside it’s colder and there’s sometime a little wind.
We walk, walk again and arrive to “bivouac Vallot” 4362 m
I’m tired, somethime it’s windy, it’s colder… i decide to drop off my shack radio 2700 g after it’s more easy for move<img
Hi Jean-Seb.
Did Mt Blanc in 1975 too. Both times from Nid d’Aigle to Gouter Hut the first day, then to summit the next day. The hut was so crowded we “slept” in the kitchen room! 73! Hal

With my friend we prefere going from the hut of “Tete Rousse” it’s more eazy for the aclimatization but more longer the second day.
This is the new hut of Gouter. more than 100 people can sleep inside i hope the kitchen room was finish
ahhhhhh, very nice! Well done guys. Too bad you had to leave the radio behind. I was wondering if there had been any Txing from F/AB-001 since I saw you were going there. Maybe next time. Thanks for the pictures and trip report, bravo!
Thank’s Arnaud
Yes it’s possible to try an other time !
For succesfull it’s not easy : two guys ( in vacation at the same time, we live at 7 hours of car), good weather, no wind, no cold, good physical condition ( and aclimatization ). And a little lucke, i think the ham who tx since the summit have all of this conditions.
73 Jean-Seb
A look at the summit page shows that F/AB-001 has only been activated twice: F/SQ9MDF on 13th Aug 2009 and F/S56CW on 2nd Aug 2011. Nearly all the contacts were on 20 metres.
