Route



Cœur de Géant is a mixed climb on the NW Face of the Dent du Géant (4013m) in the Mont-Blanc massif, opened in 2014 by three Chamonix guides, Christopher Baud, Brice Bouillance and Jonathan Charlet. Baud describes the line as being "a superb mixed route up superb quality rock, with an ice couloir on the third pitch and all the rest dry tooling, with some sustained climbing."

Notes

The route is dedicated to Baud's brother Édouard who died while skiing on Mont Blanc du Tacul in 2004, to the late Maxime Belleville who perished in a crevasse in Vallée Blanche in 2009 and to Gregory Costa who was buried in an avalanche on Manaslu in 2012.
