July 22:
Today we descended down from the Gouter Hut (3800m) back to Chamonix. Our
summit climb yesterday (July 21st) was very amazing. We found ourselves to be
very fortunate the weather opened up allowing us to summit Mont Blanc (4808m).
Only a few other teams were on the upper mountain yesterday creating a unique
experience in the French Alps.
Thanks for following the Cybercasts!

Earlier:
Hello this is Jonathon Spitzer with the Mont Blanc trip. Today Kay and I woke
up at the Tete Rousse Hut to kind of some cloudy weather and misty and snowy
conditions, but we decided we wanted to give it a shot, and climbed up the
Grand Couloir in pretty adverse conditions, but ended up climbing up and above
the clouds today, and we were able to get to the summit of Mont Blanc. We hit
the summit at around 1:30 this afternoon and then descended back down to the
Gouter Hut where we are spending the night. Tonight we are up here, most of
the clouds have now dropped below us and should have an amazing sunset. We
will be descending down to Chamonix tomorrow and I’ll try and post some
pictures in the next day or two. You know Kay did a fabulous job with the
conditions that we had, were pretty difficult climbing and definitely applaud
here for keeping going with the conditions that we had. Thanks for following
bye.
