Ecole des Echelles - Montenvers Cragging



Thursday 6th August

A day out cragging in a spectacular location.... not entirely alpine adventure but a spectacular crag with a spectacular view.

Here we are at the Ecole des Echelles which is a 10 min approach from the Montenvers Railway. Great granite slab climbing up to 6B+ on the lower section then harder on the upper.. Though 6B+ slab was quite enough today. Delicate but somehow also athletic....

Notes for logbook...
-Adieu Siberie (D+ 90m 5B) - Could climb this all day long
-Buddha-bar (TD 110m 6A) - Great 5C lower section and good upper 6A crux
-Vertical Tango (TD+ 45m 6B+) - Awesome thin climbing!
