Ascents in Mont Pinacle

That shit is pretty runout! It's about 35m so rappel is possible with a 70m rope. Only 6 bolts + anchor on the entire climb. Delicate and fun climbing. Took a 8-10m fall on the first go. Stickclip is better since the fall could take you and your belayed straight to the lake below. Expect to deck if you blow it on the second clip because its 7m from the first.

One balance move that makes it challanging. Need to get a tiny crimper and balance on it.

Absolutely wonderful!

To me, the end felt way harder than 5.6... but it is mostly due to the awkward positioning and exposure, so I'm unsure if it is actually harder (but I'd warn you to take the last section as a 5.8)

Very dirty at the moment, and clearly not the 5.7+ announced in the topo, but a very nice route with two demanding/rewarding crux. Beware the top, which is (really) hard to protect and often (very) dirty, which makes things a bit more spicy...

Not a lot of protections, but a nice technical route to start the day!

Very nice route, a long adventure! We started from "Anneau de Saturne" or "Saturne", not sure... but I would recommand neither with a backpack.

We finished with a direct line of sport climbing in "La boîte à surprises". Don't know the climb's name, but I'd grade it 5.7

We experimented a very wet face on the third pitch, making the easy flake much harder (especially since it is hard to protect). Beware!
