Description
A myth, a vertical adventure, an unforgettable day and a beautiful achievement in the Dévoluy massif climbing guidebook!
I propose you to go for 600 vertical meters of limestone on the famous Eastern pillar of the Pic de Bure, via a clever path where it is better to open the eyes. This route offers you a fun climbing in the footsteps of a great name of mountaineering, René Desmaison.
Having climbed this route several times, I will be happy to guide you there in total serenity, on this famous climb of the Dévoluy massif and of the Hautes-Alpes.
If you are a fan of technical multi pitch routes, we can also go climbing on the magnificent granite of the Rébuffat route at the Aiguille du Midi in the Mont-Blanc massif.
Program
- Contact me via the booking form and then we'll have a phone call and we will take time to discuss about this beautiful project.
- Then appointment the day before for a material and logistics briefing. The best is to bivouac not far from the departure of the route, because the sequence of the approach and the route makes a long day!
- Climbing takes place on a beautiful pillar with generous holds, along a bold and adventurous route where you should not get lost under penalty of wandering!
- This Desmaison route on the Eastern pillar of the Pic de Bure offers a superb climb, but it's a project to build well.
- A well-deserved break at the summit, in a surreal atmosphere surrounded by the telescopes of the Pic de Bure observatory.
- Descent on foot by an easy route but again, not so easy to find!
