Hey, i'm wanting to climb mont blanc this summer. Has anyone done it before and do they have any tips? Who did they go with and was it expensive? What sort of experience did you need? i've never been ice climbing but have regularly climbed mountains around the world and am in relatively good shape, do you think that's enough?
Cheers
Adam

Hi Adam,
I have a mate who did it with couple of guides and in a group of 12 people - very safe, professional and one of the most amazing things she ever did! (and I have seen the photogrpahice evidence!) I am just waiting for her to send the name of the company who she went with etc....
Will get back to you...
Cheers,
Siobhan.

here you go Adam, and this is the exact quote from my mate who came over from London especially to do the climb.
Good luck, post some photos when you are done, maybe it will inspire me to find the courage to do climb it one day! ;-)

Here's my mates recommendation:
"The tour company I used for Mont Blanc was http://www.montblancguides.com/
They were brilliant – I can’t recommend them highly enough."

Am sure you can do it if you look at the FAQs on montblancguides.com
My "room-mate" is keen on going this summer, and is sourcing cost-effective guides from Austria. Will keep you posted if one (with enough experience of course) confirms soon. Price would be good as it would be essentially barter.
Looking at the website of montblancguides, it looks very achievable (by August and with enough training) that it's got me thinking about this brilliant peak that I admire every day the weather is clear enough ... ... .. ... ...
