20 years after establishing his classic Voie Petit 8b on the Grand Capucin in the Mont Blanc Massif, Arnaud Petit has returned with Swiss climber Nina Caprez to the peak's south face, where they have established a new 12-pitch line with grades up to 8a. The pair spent four days on the wall on the successful attempt and named the route L'or du temps.
In reply to UKC News: Good effort by the team and it looks like they had lots of fun... Remember this face well ...did the Bonatti route in 1959...wonderful piece of rock.
