Fay Manners & Ella Wright. La Muse de Trient, Tête de Biselx, Switzerland 2026

Print of Fay Manners and Ella Wright during the first ascent of La Muse de Trient, M7+, NNE face of Tête de Biselx, Mont Blanc massif, April 2026.

"On 3 and 4 April 2026, Fay Manners and Ella Wright made the first ascent of La Muse de Trient on the NNE face of Tête de Biselx in the Mont Blanc massif, a 250-metre mixed route, climbed without bolts on natural protection alone. No all-female team had previously opened a route on this face.

Bold route finding and moments of doubt, but resilience kept pushing the two onwards. I particularly like this image, where Fay is navigating through the crux pitch, switching between ice axes and jamming bare hands into the frozen cracks."
