Alpine Rock Climbing – Y a Pas de Feu au Lac 6C+/7A? – Aiguille du Midi

Posted on by Leave a comment

The magnificent 25 m open book grey corner is the main feature of this route and packs a mighty punch. We rapped in and set up a belay at the base. Still in the shade it was at least ten degrees colder than the day before and suffering numb fingers and toes I had to resort to a yoyo before climbing the route cleanly.

The remaining pitches follow great finger / hand cracks near the left arete, (ignore the bolted slab).
