Crag features
The Balaitus (Spanish) or Pic du Balaïtous (French) is a granitic massif of the Pyrenees, located right on the border between Spain and France. The peak reaches 3144m in height and is steep on all sides.

There are a number of long climbing routes on fantastic rock giving some excellent views of both France and Spain. There are 2 'normal' routes, one from each side, though neither should be underestimated due to the precipitaous nature of the mountain.
