It is usually best when leaving from the Trient Hut to walk towards the Col du Tour and then skirt round below the frontier ridge to the base of the peak (1hr). Halfway up NE ridge, between the deep gap seperating the 2 summits and the S top, is a shoulder. Climb the face directly to this and follow the crest to the top. 2hr from the Trient hut, 3.5hr from the Albert Premier.

Really enjoyable climb, mainly in good weather although there was no visability on the top so couldn't appreciate the exposure.

Bright moonlight made head-torches unnecessary from the Albert Premier hut to the glacier (30 mins). Surface of glacier frozen and firm at 06:00 despite recent very warm daytime temperatures. Straightforward ascent via Col Superior du Tour. 6 hours 15 mins total time from the glacier up and back down, despite being congested on the final scramble and South summit (plenty of rockfall caused by clumsy ropes above, particularly in descent. Good day out for Tom and Josh's first alpine peak. Great lunch back at the hut then descended the direct path all the way to Le Tour (2 hours from the hut).

5am start from hut. Bergschrund fine - snow covered. Took direct route up to summit and easy descent across face. Unbelievable views & weather. Messed up descent as tried to find Col du Tour not Col Sup de Tour - the former is not an option despite the 1:25k map showing routes over there ..... guidebooks are better!
