climbing in winter

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Mountaineering : One Thread

me and my friend are going in chamonix probably in febuary and we are gonna try climb the MB. I was wondering what the real chanses are and what is the easest rout to do that, is it true that the hotels need to be reservated a month forward and what real prices for acomodations are, how high can we go whit a cable car. we have climbing experiance and it is not our first time on ice but it is on this altitude.

A winter attempt to MB is no easy task, and this year conditions are exceptionally snowy and cold.
