The guys at the PGHM LZ at Les Bois tell me that they can reach nearly everywhere in the Mont Blanc Range by conventional winching (albeit sometimes with long cable lengths).

The major exception is parts of the North Face of Les Dru, but relatively short pitch lengths allow them to deploy rescuers who can haul with cable.

Anyway... even the North Face of the Grandes Jorasses is fairly standard fare...
