Third time lucky! It’s been my dream to climb Dent Blanche for 3 years now but for the past 2 changing weather in September forced me to cancel my plans. Today I finally climbed this beautiful mountain 4357m! It is, in my opinion, is harder than the Matterhorn (which is just next door) and is more like the Eiger.
Thank you to @llucros for guiding me through the maze of this huge pile of rocks. This is when a decision to climb with a mountain guide really pays off - we climbed up in 3,5 hrs (but was more likely 3 hrs if it wasn’t for my videos and photos every 5 mins), 3,5 hrs down, just in time to wait out (eat rösti) a snowstorm in the hut!
The climb was badass, hard and technical, with some unbelievably exposed sections but it’s given me a lot of confidence in myself and my preparation for Ama Dablam!!
