Route

Les Hommes Bleus climbs the NW face of the incredibile Dôme de l'Éléphant in the Tesnou are of the Hoggar desert in Algeria. L’Elephant is a massive, rounded monolith of coarse-grained brown granite that juts out from the desert sands. It’s the last peak separating the rocky area to the west from the desert as we imagine it. Most routes on this peak are friction slabs, but Les Hommes Bleus follows the only true crack system of the mountain.
