Taking a hike around Mont Blanc
... That honour fell to Dr Michel-Gabriel Paccat and Jacques Balmat in August 1786. They approached the summit from the French side which has routes that are today regarded as not technically difficult climbs (apart from the usual mountaineering issues of altitude and exposure), but there are also more challenging routes, particularly on the Italian side.
