Mont-Blanc granite 5 - Val Veny - ENGLISH

Volume five in the Mont-Blanc Granite collection describes the best routes on the Italian face of Mont Blanc, covering three unspoilt basins overlooking Val Veny. These south-facing cirques are home to some of the world’s most famous granite walls — Pillars of Brouillard, Pillars of Frêney and the Aiguille Noire de Peuterey – as well as many less well-known and recently (re)equipped spires and faces. Excellent rock, major peaks, characterful climbing and an incredible ambiance are just some of the reasons for visiting these high-altitude cliffs and long, alpine ridges. 116 unforgettable rock climbs. The area is served by the large and perfectly situated Monzino Hut and the Eccles and Borelli bivouac shelters.
