I had a couple friends do the TMD. They're pretty good hikers (I think they did Kilimanjaro the year before) and they enjoyed it a lot, but said the up and down got a little old. Having done parts of the Haute Route, and hearing that they are similar, I can understand. Up 1200 meters and then down 1200 meters would get old after 10 days. It got old after two, actually. A lot of your days are just a long slog up to a col, and then down into the next valley. Rinse and repeat. I'll share the same story I told on the other Haute Route thread. July is supposed to be pretty nice in those mountains, but I was there July last year right after a big storm came through. It dropped a significant amount of snow and a section that was not noted as being particularly difficult ended up being completely impassable to us since we weren't prepared to hike through 3 foot snow drifts. July *should* be fine, but there is the possibility of bad weather.
