They have been the dream of generations of climbers. But fifty years after their publication, are the 100 most beautiful routes in the Mont Blanc massif, selected by Gaston Rébuffat, still passable?

🔍 With the work of Jacques Mourey and Mathis Arnaud, we decipher the impact of climate change on these iconic routes—in Mont Blanc as well as in the Écrins.
