The 3700 m high Aiguille Mummery , together with the 3696 m high Aiguille Ravanel, form a double peak in the Mont Blanc group . They are located in the French department of Haute-Savoie , about one kilometer from the French-Italian border.
location
The Aiguille Mummery and the Aiguille Ravanel form two steep rock pinnacles, separated by the Ravanel-Mummery-Scharte . They are located in the Aiguille Verte - Les Droites - Les Courtes - Aiguille de Triolet ridge, which runs from west to south-east .
Direct north-west neighbors are the Courtes, from which they are separated by the 3601 m high Col de Cristaux . To the southeast the ridge leads over the Col des Courtes ( 3569 m ) to the Aiguille de Triolet. To the north is the Glacier d'Argentière .
Climbing opportunities
The peaks are rarely climbed. In the guide, crossing both towers is described as rewarding. The route is an alpine, poorly secured climbing route with persistent difficulties in grade IV .
