Winter Mercantour Mountainneering
22 Mars 2014 , Rédigé par Revalpin Publié dans #Goulottes, Couloirs et mixte
This week, we climbed the "never seen gully" at Pelago with Chris. Pelago is one of the most famous place to practise winter mountaineering in the Mercantour. At 70 km from Nice and the "cote d'Azur", this summit present many possibility for couloir and gully for every level.
The "never seen gully" is rated D with tow pitches of ice at the beginning followed by a long snow couloir until the summit of Caïre Negre south of Pelago (2740m).
The right part of Pelago West face.
At the beginning of the "never seen gully"
This morning the snow is frozen and it's realy exciting to climb this gully with Chris
Suspended above the Erps valley we find some ice in the high couloir.
Chris learn how to progress in safety in a snow couloir.
From the top of Caïre Negre, we cross the beautiful Pelago ridge.
The wind stopped completly now and we can enjoy the summit. A typical mountainnnering course in Mercantour.
