The Rhodo-Turkey Pillar, 280 m, TD under, 5+ max>Refuge du Couvercle.
We will have checked the equipment together the day before in order to have just what we need in the bag. Meet at 8 am in front of Montenvers station to take the first train that goes up to the Mer de Glace. On the path that climbs through the glacier to the Couvercle refuge, we will find this beautiful path of Les Dalles de l'Envers ideal for a first contact with the Chamoniard granite. Slipper climbing and rappelling in the lane. Overnight at the shelter.
Contamine direct route, 400 m, TD, 6a max, 6 a max, facing East the Aiguille du Moine (3412 m)
Breakfast at the shelter. The 400 m east face of Le Moine rises above the Talèfre glacier, barely 30 minutes from the refuge. This route was opened in 1954 by André Contamine and Pierre Labrunie, it offers classic climbing by cracks in an excellent rock. We will climb it on our shoes with the “big ones” in the bag, in order to go back down by the normal route. Back down into the valley.

I had a great time climbing with Sébastien. I changed the stay due to the weather and was able to find dry rock in rainy weather. Throughout the stay, Sébastien not only offered me numerous climbs, but also helped me improve my skills.
Thanks to Sebastien L you are pushing your limits! Demanding but attentive, he will take you to discover landscapes off the beaten track... with a cool attitude. In short, a great guide!
I gained increased skills and confidence in ice climbing, as well as mountaineering skills. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and encouraging. I can't wait to work with Seb again.
