Aiguille Blanche de Peuterey North Face

This face is historical and famous in steepskiing. From Punta Helbronner this face looks so close but its so far away, i think thats why its not so very often skied. And its also very rarely in conditions. i have been looking on this face for years and always wanted to ski it but it has never been in good conditions untill now. But finally we could ski this left-hand route.
This line was first skied by Stefano De Benedetti 1980 after that only reapeted once by Luca Rolli and Francesco Civra in 2010.
We climbed up this right side.

On the way to fourche bivac it was hot this day.




Relaxing, cooking food and enjoying the good weather.
Beetween the clouds we could see the face.
We started 02.00 black time.
It so much wilder on this side of montblanc
Thin cover of snow on ice on the way up make us to use the rope.
Higher up it was alot of snow. We reached the top just after 08.00
On the start it was powder on the top, amazing to be 6 of june!

Mikko on the top part.

In the lower section here it was not so steep anymore.
Abalakov anchor.
Mikko on the rappel we did one 40m over the serac.

After that we skied skiersleft direct it was to much snow on the ridge and wet snow, to dangerous so we choose this way.

One little rappel over some rocks.




Our signature. :)

The way back to helbronner and the panorama lift to midi felt very long....
