The routes

Rudimentary climbing up extremely tiring corners, laybacks and jams…

Even though it is one of the classic Chamonix descents, the Glacier Rond is a technical itinerary that requires good ropework and experience with glacier skiing techniques.Be careful on the traverse to enter the initial couloir, as it’s often icy....

Easy ascent at altitude. The fast approach and easy return render this an ideal climb to get to know the area.

Nice climb at altitude. The fast approach and easy return render this a classic outing in the Mont Blanc range.

Gramusat Direct is a beautiful and logical line, a true classic. Unlike its name suggest, the seven exciting pitches weave their way though the wall in search of the easiest way up. Three bolts on the second pitch protect...

Happy together is the streak located in a sort of gully on the extreme lefthand side of the Tete de Gramusat. It shares the same start as Ice Pocalypse, then breaks off right when this divides into two.

Ice Pocalypse is the streak located in a sort of gully on the extreme left of the Tete de Gramusat. It shares the same start as Happy Together, then breaks of left when this divides into two. Pocalypse is normally...

Pleasant ice fall in beautiful setting. Cross the river via a fixed rope, then climb the steep wall to reach a splendid section of cauliflower ice which makes this route unique. The crux pitch can be avoided by climbing to...

Highly rewarding, logical route that follows a series of cracks up the Trident du Tacul. Some belays have no in-situ pro and require friends. The grades of some pitches have been modified after the probable first repeat at the hands...

Significantly harder than  Dos de l’éléphant, Jeef is a masterpiece in terms of beauty and the demanding nature of its climbing - photos of the route have been published in magazines worldwide. 6b is obligatory and potential repeaters should master...

Capu Aliri is a granite dome whose south face rounds off into a series of smooth slabs. The mountain is isolated, located high above the Tavignano valley, and due to its distance from Corte it is best reached from the...

Jottnar is a tricky, not obvious line. A blank canvas of corners and grooves leading back up towards the top of the Cosmiques Arete": four pitches with difficulties up to Scottish grade VIII,8. The 60m fourth pitch leads right onto...

This isn't the easiest route up the wall but definitely the most classic, tamed by the bolts placed by the first ascentionist – at times the gear is somewhat irrational. The climbing is varied up perfect rock. The original grades...

Another masterpiece by Philippe Maclé, "Ange" is one of the routes in the gorge. The rock quality is outstanding and the climb takes an extremely exposed line up the Fenrir prow with the entire Verdon void beneath your feet. Soloed...

L'or du temps was climbed over four days in summer 2017 by Arnaud Petit and Nina Caprez. The route shares the start of the Bonatti route, then breaks left after 2.5 pitches and continues independently and directly past steep, mainly...

An extraordinary route. From the third pitch you can marvel at the fish in the sea a hundred metres. La Calanque was first climbed in 1948 by R. Reynaud and R. Roulet and although protected by bolts, a set of...
