THE GRAND MULETS 



In the Mont Blanc range are numerous Aiguilles — sharp, needle-like points like the 

 Grand Mulets — many of them far more hazardous to scale than the great mountain itself. 

 These peaks have gradually been vanquished one by one. The last to surrender were the 

 Aiguille du Dru, in 1878; the Aiguille du Geant, in 1882, and the Blanche de Peuteret, in 1885.
