Route



Voie Petit tackles a line up the east face of Grand Capucin, to the left if the first route up the Grand Capucin, the Bonatti route climbed by none other than Walter Bonatti and Luciano Ghigo in 1951. Voie Petit was established in 1997 by Arnaud Petit and Stéphanie Bodet with the help of Pascal Gaudin and Jean-Paul Petit; the one point of aid was removed in 2005 when Alexander Huber made the first free ascent. At times exposed and runout, Voie Petit contains some magnificent pitches and is rightly considered to be one of the most challenging multi-pitch climbs at altitude in the Alps.
