Aiguille du Midi knife-edge exit onto the Vallée Blanche. Rime ice accumulation and 40-knot westerly wind scour create hard-packed sastrugi requiring dual-point crampon penetration.
Deep northern maritime powder basin. Wide tip rockers (112mm underfoot) provide flotation above submerged crevasse bridges.
Assessing steep 48-degree couloir snowpack integrity with extended column test (ECTP21) prior to descent commitment.
