La Meije traverse
A major climb on an iconic summit of the Alps
The ascent of La Meije by the Promontoire mountain hut, followed by the ridge traverse to the Doigt de Dieu, is the dream of many alpinists and a consecration for most of them. La Meije, the last major summit of the Alps to remain unconquered... More than a century after its first ascent in 1877 by Boileau de Castelnau & Gaspard and his son, it is undoubtedly one of the most prominent climbs of the Alps. A subtle mix of mountaineering skills contributes to its success: the sense of the itinerary, the ability to progress quickly, a good amount of determination and commitment, the preparation and choice of the right moment... The traverse of La Meije is a mythical climb: there starts the great alpinism.
