Gear review & route review
Hi all, I am planning to do the TMB from 4/7 until 10/7. I am looking for feedback on my gearlist and route. I will do the route in 7 days starting in Les Valettes close to Martigny and will do the route anti clockwise. I won't use huts but will use my tent.
| From | To | Distance | Elevation meters | Descending |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Martigny / Les Valettes | Col de Balme | 21,1 | 2290 | 740 |
| Col de Balme | Refuge Bellachat | 24,7 | 1580 | 1650 |
| Refuge Bellachat | Camping du Pontet | 28,3 | 1170 | 2110 |
| Camping du Pontet | Refuge des Mottets | 22,6 | 1640 | 940 |
| Refuge des Mottets | Camping Grandes Jorasses | 23,6 | 1100 | 1780 |
| Camping Grandes Jorasses | Camping la fouly | 25,2 | 1370 | 1380 |
| Camping la fouly | Martigny / Les Valettes | 23,1 | 530 | 1480 |
Is this a realistic route for someone who is experienced in hiking and trekking with a tent? For reference I did part of the Westweg in the Black forest last autumn averaging 1000-1200 elevation meters and 35KM a day. Currently my gear is +-2/3kg lighter and my condition/endurance is slightly better.
