Thanks David I'll be 65yrs in 2025 and determined to climb Mt Blanc. Had a heart by pass in 2019 but climbed Mt Toubkal this year (I know. you did it) I'm sure I can do this if my consultant doesn't say No. I don't know if I'm too old that's my real fear --any comments would be appreciated -,thanks Ben

[@Jebollmdr]

So im 16, i have no experience in hiking/climbing. And I deff want to climb the mont blanc but i cant train anywhere bc I live in a big city where you cant hike. Got any tips?

[@AlexKleinkanocomputing]

What were the hardest endurance moments for you over the three days?

[@DavidPMcEntee]

The first day on Mont Blnc was the most gruelling, the second day was great! Coming down was easier too, it’s that section when your scrambling hard that killed me mate!

[@bradparkins]

I’ve been offered a spare place on a Mont Blanc trip, my fitness isn’t 100% there though and it’s a month away, how long did you spend training?
