βeta: Very good although a bit loose in places. With 60m half ropes and 13 quickdraws you can easily link all of the vertical pitches into blocks of two. The route is fairly well bolted, although a small set of cams (DMM 00-2) may be useful if you not confident at the grade as the easier sections are quite spaced. A good route description can be found here, gives it a max grade of 5c: https://www.gulliver.it/itinerari/glacier-blanc-pic-du-le-communard/#main | βeta? | |
