Les Aiguilles du Diable

The newspaper "La Montagne", monthly magazine of the Alpine Club, publishes the story of the climb made by our fellow citizen Mr. Bregeault of the Aiguilles du Diable, in the Mont-Blanc Massif. It was a first, that is to say that no mountaineer had ever attempted this dangerous ascent.

The public is currently fascinated, on the grand boulevards, by a film that makes us watch the climbing of the facade of an American skyscraper by an acrobat clinging to the roughness of the wall up to the 16th floor to finally arrive by this impractical staircase to the roof. This raid seems in truth insignificant in comparison with the climb of Mr. Brégeault, at 4,109 meters of altitude of a rocky point presenting a vertiginous precipice of at least a thousand meters!!!
