Mont Pourri, Summit in Vanoise Massif, France
Mont Pourri reaches an elevation of 3,779 meters within the Graian Alps, featuring extensive glaciers that descend along its northeastern slopes until 2,000 meters.
Michel Croz completed the first recorded ascent of Mont Pourri on October 3, 1861, followed by W. Mathews and Rev T. G. Bonney in 1862.
The mountain's French name translates to 'rotted mountain', reflecting the geological composition and appearance of its steep rocky faces and ridges.
The normal route starts at Glacier du Geay, requiring crampons and ice axes, with a total ascent of 1,425 meters from the Refuge du Mont Pourri.
Two hanging glaciers near La Gurraz village represent some of the lowest permanent ice formations in the Vanoise region at approximately 2,000 meters.
