Barbourine
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008On Tuesday we did the route Barbourine (6c+) in Barberine near the Swiss border. It is an 8 pitch route with the first 4 pitches slabs and the upper pitches vertical to overhanging. Quite hard work, especially since the pitches are all quite long. Our 50m ropes were a bit too short for one pitch, so it is advisable to take 60 meter ropes. The topo Chamonix Crag Climbs has all the Chamonix valley climbs in it, including Les Gaillands. Perfect for rest days or getting used to the rock.
