The International School of Mountaineering Ltd, a local Mountaineering club in Kendal, is excited to promote their upcoming Mount Blanc (Extension) Level 2 Guided Climbing event. This three-day climb is a fantastic opportunity for those who have completed summer courses offered in the 'high season'. With Mt Blanc as the centrepiece of the beautiful Mt Blanc Massif, participants will be able to experience the thrill of reaching the highest summit in the Alps.
To successfully complete this climb, a basic level of mountaineering ability and a high level of fitness is required. It is recommended for individuals who have already acclimatised to the higher altitude for better results. The climb to the summit of Mt Blanc (4810m) is challenging and demanding, but with the guidance of professional and experienced ISM Guides, participants will have the best chance of success.
For those interested in booking onto another ISM course, the Mt Blanc Three Day Extension is a perfect addition. It pairs well with courses like Summits and Skills 4000m or Level 2 Guided Climbing weeks, allowing participants to refresh their mountaineering skills and become acclimatised by climbing smaller summits. This extension provides an excellent opportunity to attempt Mt Blanc and push your mountaineering abilities to new heights.
The Three Day Extension follows the 'Gouter' route via the Tete Rousse and Gouter Hut, which is the preferred option depending on conditions and ratios. The course begins with a briefing on Saturday evening at the hotel in Leysin, where participants will have the chance to meet their Guide and go through the course details. Sunday starts with an early breakfast and the start of the ascent. Accommodations are arranged in a hut on Sunday evening, with the summit attempt planned for Monday, depending on weather conditions. Tuesday is kept free in case of bad weather or adverse conditions, ensuring the safety and success of the participants. The course will conclude on Tuesday afternoon.

Don't miss out on this chance to conquer Mt Blanc!
