Impatience
Impatience - Vallée de Freissinières
III/5
Pleasant ice fall in beautiful setting. Cross the river via a fixed rope, then climb the steep wall to reach a splendid section of cauliflower ice which makes this route unique. The crux pitch can be avoided by climbing to...
Jottnar

VIII, 8

ED M7+
Brilliant addition to the SE Face of Pyramide du Tacul. Ussha climbs to the left of the classic Via Ottoz and to the right of the route put up by Enrico Bonino and Gianni Carbone. Essentially, it follows the abseil line of...
