Aiguille du Jardin, Mountain summit in Mont Blanc massif, France

The Aiguille du Jardin rises to 4,035 meters in elevation, featuring steep granite buttresses and multiple technical climbing routes through the French Alps.

Austrian mountaineer Karl Blodig completed the first solo ascent of Aiguille du Jardin in 1932 at age 72 via the northeast couloir of Col Armand Charlet.

The mountain represents a significant achievement for alpinists seeking to complete their list of 4,000-meter peaks in the Mont Blanc range.

Climbers access the mountain from Chamonix, with the Refuge du Requin and Refuge des Cosmiques serving as base camps for summit attempts.

The south face contains unexplored red granite buttresses that attract crystal hunters searching through the mountain's geological formations.
