Nina Caprez Sends Massive Mont Blanc 5.12

Nina Caprez has repeated the slightly obscure Divine Providence up the Grand Pilier D’angle on Mont Blanc with her boyfriend. The first ascent was 22 years ago by Francois Marsingny and Pat Gabarrou with much aid. It was freed a few years later by Thierry Ranault and Alain Ghersen and has been soloed and onsighted, but ascents are infrequent. The crux is a 5.12b dihedral near the top of the route (pictured below). Caprez spent three days on the big line and onsighted all of the crux pitches.

On my way to the perfect on sight ascent of Divine Providence. What a great route, I'm still in a high! #montblancmassif #divineprovidence #alpineclimbing #scarpaclimb @petzl_official @arcteryx @scarpaspa @msr_gear @lyofood @chimpbars

Outstanding view at our bivouac in the middle of the 900m route Divine Providence on the Pilier d'angle, Mont Blanc massif. Sharing this 3 day long journey in the mountains with my boyfriend, climbing in alpine, sport and ice style, leading and on sighting the pure climbing part and standing on the top of the Mont Blanc at 9pm was a unique moment in my life. Due to the perfect conditions it was all safe and we had a big blast! Epic TV catched me once back in Chamonix. Stay tuned to watch the ITV with more pictures and impressions. YES, love life!!!! #divineprovidence #alpineclimbing #montblancmassif #montblanc #lovelife❤️ @petzl_official @arcteryx @scarpaspa @msr_gear @lyofood @chimpbars @powerbeef @epictvclimbing
