323A TRAVERSE OF THE AIGUILLEBLANCHE DE PETERETBY G. GRAHAM MACPHEE.Most people know from experience how very unsettled was theweather during the so-called summer of 1927. A result of thisand of various misfortunes to the party was that the writer's" bag " for the first fortnight in the Alps consisted of two easypeaks. When the last active member of the party was renderedhors de combat, the writer gladly accepted an invitation to jointwo friends at the Montenvers, and moved up there the sameafternoon.Next morning, an early start was made for our walk over theCol du Geant into Italy. The weather was delightful, and easygoing took us to Courmayeur in time for afternoon tea. A prolongedhalt at the Torino hut had enabled us to observe telescopicallyfour climbers ascending the final slopes of Mont Blancde Courmayeur. These, we were told, were three first-classguides * and a German climber, completing the Peteret Ridge.They had been favoured with three perfect days, and we onlyhoped that we might be as fortunate in regard to weather conditions.The second day, we left Courmayeur at 6 a.m. for the Gambahut, with five days' provisions. These were carried by a porter,who also saved us some time in route-finding, for there is nobeaten track to the Gamba hut. At one part, indeed, some partiesrope up, and as a result of this difficult approach, only genuineclimbers are likely to be encountered in the hut, and one is notcrowded out by tourists.That night the weather broke, and there was heavy rain anda mild thunderstorm. Two or three days seemed the averageduration of fine weather, so far as we had seen.The third day of our expedition was devoted to prospectingthe proposed climb. We went up to the Col de I'lnnominata overthe small Glacier du Chatelet, and up a steep couloir, with steep* Two guides and a porter (A.J., 39. 337).
