Grandes Jorasses. North face. Winter. Three climbers. Five days. Four nights. A route never repeated. This is the setting and the action of a great adventure, the kind that mountaineering sometimes offers, one that pushes the boundaries to the highest levels of difficulty, commitment, and also the spirit of teamwork in the noblest sense of the word. Five days. Four nights. A route never repeated. On Monday, February 13, 2023, Charles Dubouloz, Clovis Paulin, and Symon Welfringer reached the summit of the Grandes Jorasses after repeating the Walker Spur, first climbed by Patrick Gabarrou and Hervé Bouvard in July 1986 and never repeated until then. After five days of climbing, the trio fulfilled a long-held dream, under the watchful eyes of Gabarrou and Bouvard themselves.
