Dent du Requin, Alpine summit in Mont Blanc massif, France
The Dent du Requin stands at 3422 meters in elevation with a distinctive tooth-shaped peak rising from the Mont Blanc mountain range.
Four mountaineers, G. Hastings, A. Mummery, N. Collie, and W. Slingsby, completed the first ascent of this granite peak on July 25, 1893.
The mountain presents technical climbing challenges on fine granite rock, attracting mountaineers who seek to test their skills on various established routes.
Climbers can access the mountain from the Requin Hut at 2516 meters, which operates during winter from January to May and summer from June to September.
The north face contains several demanding routes rated ED3 to TD, while the southwest face offers a normal route rated AD- with moderate crack climbing.
