On 15 August 1778, seven men from Gressoney-La-Trinité climbed Mont Rose in search of a lost valley celebrated in legends of the time. Until then, only hunters and scientists had approached the glaciers of this massif. They were the first to scale a mountain out of a pure desire for discovery and were thus, in a sense, the fathers of modern climbing.
