A weeks holiday with friends to squeeze in Mt Blanc. Summiting on 2nd July 2009 06:20. Summit day there were fantastic conditions making for some fantastic views. Day before was quite an adventure being in the centre of a lightening clound with our heads buzzing inside our helmets and being struck by flashes. The evening activity for us above our camp at the Gouter hut was rescuing a strucken solo french man crawling in the snow who had been struck and had fallen putting his crampon through his leg. We got him back to the hut where he was stitched up and later helicoptered off.
