Aiguille du Tacul, Alpine summit in Mont Blanc massif, France
The Aiguille du Tacul rises to 2,401 meters in elevation, presenting steep slopes and exposed terrain within the Mont Blanc mountain range.
The first ascent of this alpine peak occurred in 1901, establishing a climbing route that mountaineers continue to follow through technical sections.
The mountain serves as a training ground for climbers developing their skills before attempting more demanding ascents in the Mont Blanc region.
The summit can be reached from the Aiguille du Midi cable car station, requiring climbers to navigate through sections of snow and ice.
The mountain's northern face contains multiple glacial features that demand precise navigation between crevasses during early morning ascents.
