I would like to go to mont blanc this Summer and attempt to trek up the summit of Mont Blanc. I am not a climber, but I have done a couple of hard mountain treks in the past. I have a few question in reference to that. Is it feasible without a climbing background? What are the logistics of the trip, like equipment, guides, organized treks, cost, routes for beginners etc? Is it better to attempt Mont Blanc from Chamonix or go accross the boarder to Courmayeur? Any shared wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Praful Talera
