go to the Alps HSX Antarctica have just got back from the Alps. The team of 6 attempted a summit on Mont Blanc and after a long climb over 3 mountains we summited at 7 am. It was a really useful trip as we learnt crevasse rescue and camping on a glacier which are essential skills for Antarctica. On our rest days we climbed on the various crags around Chamonix and completed various routes around the mountains including ascents of Mont Blanc du Tacul, Point Lachernal and Petit Aiguille Vert. We also explored some classic routes up the Cosmoniques Arête while supervised by the many Japanese Tourists sitting in the Cable Car Station.
