A few weeks until we depart. Your videos are well done. Thanks

Hi German, we did the TMB about a week after you. I enjoyed it soo much. I look at one of your videos at least once a week to re live it. Thank you so much for putting this up and the lovely production. You made it very personal.

Hi is this the mont de la saxe route?

[@GermanDiManzo]

Hi Radha, no, this was the shorter/easier path. The path you mention is right after Refugio Bertoni, a clear steep trail goes up the mountain.

[@radhakrishnaayyalasomayaju1841]

Oh ok, I plan to take that variant. Thanks :)

Two weeks to go and I'm getting each leg nailed down. In the book they show two variants for this stage. Is the best route the standard way or would one of the variants be better?

[@GermanDiManzo]

tricia sullivan for us it was a nice break to take the lower-easier route. We get early to Bonatti so we enjoy sitting outside watching the sunset. People coming from the high route showed up much later and some said it was demanding (hard to tell for me as I haven't been up there). You can make a last minute decision once you get to R.Bertone, the route splits shortly after, based on weather, time and how you feel after the steep climb till there.

German Di Manzo I need to save all my energy for stage 8 so the lower route it is!
