Aiguille de Blaitière

The Aiguille de Blaitière reaches an elevation of 3,522 meters, featuring steep granite faces and multiple climbing routes within the Mont Blanc range.

The first successful ascent of the Central Point occurred in 1874 when Christian and Johann Lauener, accompanied by Edward Robson Whitwell, reached the summit.

The mountain establishes itself as a cornerstone of alpine mountaineering, drawing climbers who test their skills on its technical granite formations.

Access to the mountain begins from Chamonix, with climbers utilizing the Aiguille du Midi cable car to reach the starting points of various routes.

In 2007, a substantial rock collapse occurred on the north side of Pilier Rouge, altering the mountain's appearance and climbing conditions.
