Strong 🍂 Attempt On Mont Blanc Via Gouter Winter Room But Tough Windy & Fresh Snow Conditions

A really good effort 💪 @joecool69_32 and @hamishmountainguide to get up to the Vallot Hut after a night in the winter room at Gouter.

Fresh snow plus strong and increasing winds forced a turn around so no summit but a BIG experience and all the best for 3rd time lucky next time Joe. Great effort on the impressive training gains you have made since coming on these trips!
