A<\/span>merican Anna DeMonte is the fastest woman to ski Mont Blanc and back. On June 5, 2024, the Utah-born skier made the round trip to the summit in 7 hours and 29 minutes, four minutes faster than Hillary Gerardi’s women’s record on foot, set in 2023. Anna DeMonte had meticulously prepared her ascent. However, she fell some 30 metres in a traverse on the way up with the skins, a fall that could have ended badly given the crevassed area. Fortunately, she escaped unharmed and completed the return trip to Mont Blanc as planned, in 7 hours 29 minutes.<\/p>\n The first confirmed women’s record was set in 7:53 by Emelie Forsberg in 2018, on foot. Anna DeMonte therefore set a new benchmark time on skis, but did not beat Hillary Gerardi’s absolute women’s record on foot. The men’s record is still held by Kilian Jornet in 4:57.

Le 5 juin 2024, la skieuse originaire de l'Utah a fait l'aller-retour au sommet en 7 heures et 29 minutes, soit quatre minutes de plus que le record f\u00e9minin d'Hillary Gerardi, \u00e0 pied<\/a>, \u00e9tabli en 2023. Anna DeMonte avait minutieusement pr\u00e9par\u00e9 son ascension. Mais elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 victime d'une chute d'une trentaine de m\u00e8tres, dans une travers\u00e9e, \u00e0 la mont\u00e9e avec les peaux, chute qui aurait pu mal se terminer \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 que la zone est crevass\u00e9e. Heureusement elle a pu s'en tirer sans dommage et boucler l'aller retour au mont Blanc comme pr\u00e9vu, en 7h29.\n\nLe premier record f\u00e9minin confirm\u00e9 a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9tabli en 7h53 par Emelie Forsberg en 2018, \u00e0 pied. Anna DeMonte \u00e9tablit donc un temps de r\u00e9f\u00e9rence \u00e0 skis, sans pour autant battre le record f\u00e9minin absolu, \u00e0 pied, d'Hillary Gerardi. Le record masculin est toujours d\u00e9tenu par Kilian Jornet en 4h57.
