Beginning in 1760, the Swiss naturalist Horace-Bénédict de Saussure began traveling to Chamonix to observe Mont Blanc. The passages record this sustained interest and separately state that the successful ascent was initiated and rewarded by Saussure; they do not describe a direct causal chain between the visits and the climb. The passage names Chamonix as the locality of the visits, not the summit.
