At the foot of Mont Blanc, following a search session by air, Xavier de le Rue and the TimeLine film team discovered a new zone in the Alps 

After a day of trekking to check the conditions, Xavier invited his friend Lucas Debari to test the new ‘Laboratory of Ice’ in this latest TimeLine video. Watch them climb a near vertical ice cascade and descend on bulletproof snow without a hint of fear.

Mont Blanc holds a special allure for all mountain climbers. This TimeLine episode is a true mountaineering session, with trekking, climbing and snowboarding, in the third most visited natural site in the world.
