Det ligger en varning på summitpost enl nedan, tänkte visa bilder på normal vägen man går på vägen till MT blanc, så Ni vet vad ni ger er in på före ni åker ner..
Det är inte lika "lätt" att gå denna vägen i år som förra sommaren..
Skulle vi inte ha haft med oss en "riktig" alpinist, skulle vi garanterat vänt. Snöbron ni ser på bilden nedan är med största sanorlikhet förstörd nu.

Hey Everyone,
I just climbed the Chere Couloir and descended the normal route on Mont Blanc du Tacul (March 22). The glacier is in very poor condition this season - Rahel, you may want to put a notice on the Mont Blanc du Tacul page. The bergschrund near the top is HUGE - we rapelled across it from an in situ V-thread and it is quite scary. It is possible to cross on a very questionable snow bridge, but this can't last much longer. Also, near the bottom of the face, there are two sections of 70-80 degree nieve. The lower is about 20 m and the upper about 7 m. In its current state, the route is no longer PD as indicated in the guidebooks - I would call it more like AD+. Definitely not suitable for beginners. Also the route is more exposed to serac fall than usual and many of the Chamonix guides have decided that they will not guide it this season. This is important for anyone who is thinking about the 3 Mont Blanc route with a guide. Descending it was OK since you can move very fast, but I wouldn't take my chances on it going up.
