In reply to jon:
Here goes my translation in case anyone finds it useful (disclaimer - I'm a native Spanish speaker and Spanish translator so apologies for anything that's not idiomatic... I would probably do a better job translating this into Spanish but thought someone might still find it helpful!)
HISTORY
In the 2000s, four guides from the Trient Valley (Volorio Marc, Lugon Moulin Samuel, Amaudruz Paul-Victor and his son Thierry) conceived of and built this climbing structure on the downstream face of the Emosson dam.
After being closed for twenty years, PURES EMOSSIONS has made the venue compliant with standards and reopened this amazing route for adventurous and experienced climbers to enjoy.
The 150m high dam with a 15m overhanging section are what makes this aerial line so original. This artificial climb is 180m long, and requires the climber to be comfortable climbing 7s, as well as trained for endurance.
AUTHORISATION
You’ll need to go to the PURES EMOSSIONS centre to sign a waiver. You will be asked to leave proof of identity with us and in return you will receive a key that releases/gives you access the ladder that leads to the start of the climb, in order to access the starting holds. After securing your rope on the first bolt, you must put the ladder back in place and lock it again. The same key will enable you to open the exit gate/cage at the top.
Once you have finished climbing, return the key at the centre and we will return your identity document.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE REMEMBER TO CLOSE THE GATE AGAIN AT THE TOP OF THE DAM. If a climber forgets to do this and there is a deadly incident as a result, the negligent climber will be held legally accountable. (!!!)
CLOSE/LATCH/LOCK THE LADDER AND THE EXIT GATE
TECHNICAL ASPECTS AND GEAR
The first three pitches are 65° to 90° steep and will get you to a 90m height. The following two and last pitches are at the vault (?) with a 15m overhanging section, spanning the last 60m – they require great athleticism and are not well placed for a fall. If you find you’ve overestimated your ability, abseil down no later than at the third belay.
Gear required: double ropes, 15 quickdraws.
ACCESS
Access to the start of the route is through the path as marked on the topo. There are two possibilities:
Traverse across the entire top of the dam, descend through the Tyrolese exit steps, walk towards the PURES EMOSSIONS banner and follow the instructions and the pink signs.
OR
Take the Tyrolese (if you’re travelling light) and you’ll arrive directly at the banner.
FEE
Climbing: 25 (CHF I presume?)
Climbing + Tyrolese: 35
