The routes

The hardest pure ice route up the wall. The second pitch of "Over The Top" takes a direct line up the large 40m column, and this is then followed by a shorter drip.

A truly classic outing, a step into climbing history and a masterpiece of route finding by Jacques "Pschitt" Perrier in the Escales sector. The route climbs diagonally rightwards and finishes up the ultra-smooth and exposed slabs next to Belevedere de...

In the course of thousands of years the Purcaraccia river has sculpted a fascinating natural water park with a series of long waterfalls and enchanting pools. Ideal for canyoners and those in search of unspoilt nature, this walk will not...

An easy and nice walk that leads through a beautiful pine and larch and silver birch forest to the Bergeries de Radule and its enchanting small waterfall. The itinerary is varied, shady, without too much height gain and not exposed...

A historic route, probably the most popular on the entire face, which has by now become a crag above 3500m. The fourth pitch is fantastic, and the upper section offers numerous escape routes.

A short but beautiful route, with a single 6a crux. Ideal for those new to climbing on the Mont Blanc.

Hailed as one of the best multi-pitches in the Verdon, Rêve de Fer is quite simply a must. The rock quality and ambience render this 4 pitch climb a truly unforgettable outing.

Beautiful and hard climb up steep and physical cracks. The last pitch is often wet.

Highly satisfying climbing that follows a logical line close to the arête.

An ephemeral couloir, never too extreme but not to be underestimated due to the difficulty in placing gear on some pitches. Comparable to the Rebuffat Terray route on the Pelerins in dry conditions... with a bit more climbing to do...!

Difficult multi-pitch climb up the Roi de Siam granite tower, located directly in front of the Petit Capucin. Established ground-up, the climb takes a line in the center of the face, between the 1989 Petit Capoussin climb and the classic Boccalatte...

Fabulous 7a+ multi-pitch, one of the best and most photographed in the Verdon Gorge, first ascended in 1981 by Jean Marc Troussier. After a gentle first two pitches the route kicks in with a technical 7a+ crux, to finish in...

The Swiss Route is historic line that leads to the summit of Grand Capucin. If combind with 'O sole mio' by bearing left beneath the obvious roof, it transforms into the easiest outing on the wall. There are many in-situ...

Symponie d’automne offers superb slab climbing above a deep blue lake. The first pitch is original: a traverse on a metal cable just above the water mark! The route then ascends easy angled slabs and the climb is never excessively...

Trous Secs is a pleasant route up pockets and "gouttes d'eau". The 6c crux pitch is technical and ascends a series of small holds with poor footholds. The final pitch is somewhat polished.

Brilliant addition to the SE Face of Pyramide du Tacul. Ussha climbs to the left of the classic Via Ottoz and to the right of the route put up by Enrico Bonino and Gianni Carbone. Essentially, it follows the abseil line of...
