This is a popular, hard trade route when it comes in condition in Chamonix. I know Todd Eastman (from days playing lacrosse, caretaking the Harvard Cabin, and socializing with Ski To Die members). As you watch this video from last February, imagine how much harder this route would be with 1970s gear. Tobin and Todd were obviously climbing very hard back in the day.
