Alixe Bovey's readable text explains the meaning of these monsters & their place in medieval art. ...

With its nearly 5, 000 m of altitude, its glaciers, its walls of red granite, Mont Blanc is one of the most spectacular natural monuments of the Old Continent. Begun during the Age of Enlightenment with the first attempts to climb the 4, 810 m peak, the climbing history of this mountain continued throughout the centuries. Today, the grand exploits of champions such as Christophe Profit, Michel Piola & Patrick Gabarrou are seen beside the lesser-known adventures of thousands of climbers coming from every corner of the earth.
