In reply to cannichoutdoors:
It has been a hot and dry summer in Chamonix which has been leading to a lot of difficulties with rockfall and large chasms appearing between rock spires and glacier. I was there last week. We turned back from Pyramide du Tacul because even if we had managed to cross the gaping chasm we would have had to scramble some horrendous loose choss to get onto the route. Another team had similar difficulties on Pointe Adolphe Rey (although they did manage to get onto the Salluard route). Marbrees can be accessed but must be reversed because the usual abseil descent is a death trap. From what we heard at the Torino hut, it sounds like Dent du Geant is similarly difficult to access. On the other hand, we had no difficulties with Aiguilles d'Entreves or Cosmiques.
Snow was falling high up when I left and it sounds like it has continued to fall I can't comment on depth or what has been tracked. But I suspect that loose rock and lack of snow banks will continue to be an issue there until there has been significant snow and a good freeze!
