Description
A myth, a vertical adventure, an unforgettable day and a beautiful achievement in the Dévoluy massif climbing guidebook! All this represent this Desmaison route!
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, the climber an mountain guide René Desmaison.
Having climbed this route several times, I will be happy to guide you there in total serenity, on this famous and major climbing route of the Dévoluy massif and of the Hautes-Alpes department.
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.
