Aiguilles du Diable — Pointe Chaubert
Named after the Chamonix guide Émile Chaubert, who was active in the early-20th-century campaign of first ascents on the south side of the Tacul.
Fourth needle of the Aiguilles du Diable on Mont Blanc du Tacul's south-east ridge, named after the client Jean Chaubert who took part in its first ascent.
One of the five Aiguilles du Diable above the Combe Maudite. The first complete traverse of all five aiguilles — Corne du Diable, Pointe Chaubert, Pointe Médiane, Pointe Carmen, L'Isolée — was made on 13 August 1928 by the Chamonix guide Armand Charlet and Camille Devouassoux with the American couple Bradford and Margaret (later Barbara) Washburn. The traverse is still considered one of the finest classic granite climbs in the Mont Blanc range and is the standard way of climbing all five needles in a single day.
