- I used the Apline Club guides this summer - Mont Blanc vol 1 && II.
- (Vol 1 covers more of the Chamonix side of things.) In general I
- found the guides good, although the descriptions of the normal route
- on Peigne did not seem to agree with reality - most routes are on topos
- or photos and this helps.
-
- [the normal route on Peigne seems to be different in every guide book
- I have seen - anyone cast any light on this?]
