Dent du Geant, Normal Route 2-day ascent – France

Join me on this amazing ascent in the Northern area of the massif of Mont Blanc. The Dent du Geant ascent is an unforgettable mountaineering, rock climbing experience – guaranteed!

Dent du Geant – Dente del Gigante in Italian – or Giant's Tooth, is a classic 4000er, close to the border between France and Italy, over the Glacier du Geant.

Located on the ridge running from Mont Dolent to the peak of Mont Blanc, its neighboring peaks are Colle del Gigante (3,359 m) and Grandes Jorassess (4,206 m). This impressive rocky spire is considered an icon of the Mont Blanc group.

The Normal Route ascent refers to the ascent on the South West face. Although it is not technically difficult, this can be a strenuous ascent. On the summit (4,013 m), we will reach its famous two tops, only 30 meters apart: the Punta Sella (4,009 m) and the Punta Graham (4,014 m).

On our way to the top, you will be able to experience incredible views of some of the highest summits in this area, like Mont Blanc, Mont Maudit and Tacul.

This program is available for groups of 1 or 2 climbers. Climbers need to have a skill level from Intermediate to Advanced, some experience on crampons and mixed terrain (rock climbing: 5c / 6a).

Among the equipment gear you will need for this program are: crampons, mountain boots suitable for the glacier, ice axe, harness, helmet and belay plate for the abseil.
