Presumably this is the third accent of the link-up of these three routes in winter? Does anyone know how many times it's been done in summer?

I think it will have been done a fair bit more in summer, but of course impossible to know. I almost find it hard to believe this is the third in winter. The French are always quietly up to these awesome shennanigans on their doorstep. But i suppose someone like Aymeric would know the people anyways. Will

Is this the ridge line you see when going into the italian side of the tunnel? Just the other week my mate and I were saying how nails and impressive it looked.

Always thought the "super integral" was an odd name for an enchainement that doesn't have that much to do with the Peuterey Integral. Heaven knows what the 'rules' are, since all the winter ascents have taken different routes on the Freney Face. Perhaps 'just' three successive hard routes taking in the summits of the Noire, Blanc and Mt Blanc? Anyhow, no doubting what a nails acheivement it is. Lots of suffering too, no doubt!

Smithaldo - The S Ridge of the Noire is the LH one in the article photo. The ridge you see from the Italian TMB entrance is the E ridge (RH one in the UKC photo). Descent from the Noire after the S Ridge is by the E ridge (v. loose and long), unless continuing on the Peuterey Integral.
