You know those pub chats that you do occassionally follow through? That's exactly what happend to 5 unfitties who thought climbing Mt Blanc would be a good idea. In early September 2007, these 5 meet up with another 6 innocents to tackle the highest points in Western Europe and Italy. With no prior experience or idea of what was involved, somewhat remarkably, everybody summited. If you can bear the drivel, here it is.
