Description
A "gneiss" climbing area on the road into the heart of the Écrins massif.
Due to a landslide in 2002, the area is now more limited and contains 22 routes at a mostly moderate level. Grade range from 3 to 6b.
Steep, dark rock from 10 to 25m high. The rock is a very short hike from the road and has a sunny, southwest aspect.
Main climbing season here mostly summer, but, doable at the start of May through the end of October.
A fun stop if spending more time at the end of the road (La Berarde) and a quick pump is desired.
Very worthwhile is a stop at the alpine climbing museum in Saint-Christophe-en-Osians. They have Mummery’s ice axe (and they're not giving it back!)!
