Mont Blanc Unaided

Former serving Scots Guardsman and Falklands Veteran Francis Kluzniak and his team are off to Argentiere in the Chamonix valley on the 2nd of July to do a bit of acclimatization and then to climb the highest mountain of the Old World (Mont Blanc) Un-guided on the 10th.

 

 
Francis says, "It is quite a hard climb with quite a bit of rock fall in the Grand Couloir and it will be a long slog to the top at 4810m.


The Team: Francis, his niece, her man and his nephew.

To donate to Francis and his team please follow the link below to show your support.
