The Aiguille Verte (French: [eɡɥij vɛʁt]; ), which is French for "Green Needle", is a mountain in the Mont Blanc massif in the French Alps.

In 1880 the strong team of Albert F. Mummery and Alexander Burgener tried to force a passage via the south-west face but were repelled by a band of slabs, causing Mummery to exclaim,…
