We did it! On July 10th 2008 at 12.15pm Artie, Bob and Rosie stood on the summit of Mont Blanc enjoying a fantastic panorama of the Alps. Having started at 4.30am from the Tete Rousse hut at 3167m, it was a gruelling climb up a steep rock face to the Aiguille du Gouter then an exhausting trek across snow to the Dome de Gouter at 4304m. At this point Rosie nearly gave up through exhaustion and it was a real effort for all of us to continue. But we couldn't let our sponsors down and this spurred us on to complete the final assault on Mont Blanc summit at 4808m.

Mike unfortunately struggled with the altitude and was not able to join us for the final climb. We hope that his sponsors will  recognise the efforts he made in getting as far as he did.

We are all very grateful for the money you have donated to LINC.
Thank you for all your support, it meant a lot to us.
Rosie, Bob, Artie and Mike
