Mountaineering in the Pyrenees features twenty-five classic
mountain routes and link-ups that will delight any mountaineer who
enjoys getting off the beaten track. Author and mountain guide
Francois Laurens has drawn upon his encyclopaedic knowledge of the
Pyrenees, and recommendations from other mountaineers, to put
together a diverse selection of climbs - many of them accessible
from spring to autumn - along the entire Pyrenean chain, from the
Mediterranean to the Basque country. The most characteristic
feature of the Pyrenees is its hodgepodge of topographies, climates
and lives, all jumbled together. Sometimes, moving just a short way
across this patchwork landscape, perhaps from one side of a cliff
to another, is enough to take you into a completely different
environment. This diversity is reflected in the routes featured in
this book. Ridge traverses and rock climbs dominate the selection,
which includes only a few ephemeral snow climbs, but every route
has its own unique character and provides a wonderful day out in
the mountains. Featured routes include the Salenques-Tempestades
Ridge on Pico de Aneto, the Espadas Ridge on Pic des Posets, and a
selection of climbs on the renowned peaks of Monte Perdido, the
Maladeta, the Balaitous, the Vignemale, and the Grand Astazous and
Petit Astazous. Each route features technical notes, a topo and
route description, and photos illustrating the character of the
climbing.
