Mont Blanc
by Stefano Ardito

"Mont Blanc, explored and conquered by the masters of the Alps" is a book where words and pictures tell the stories of the most exciting exploits of those climbers who, from the 18th century to the present, have confronted Mont Blanc's lofty 4,810-m high peak. Readers learn about Balmat, who was the first to reach the top in 1786, and about others up to the contemporary undertakings of Profit and Gabarrou. The reader will participate in these courageous events as he peruses the text and photos and in this way feel the magic which pervades high altitudes. The book includes a description of Mont Blanc's seven valleys and the chronology of two centuries of climbs.
