Ussha - Pyramide du Tacul

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 Via Ottoz, and the final pitch of Ussha shares the final pitch of Ottoz. The climb features some bolted belays, while others require cams. Additionally, there is one peg on one of the last hard pitches. "It provides 8 spectacular pitches climbed with crampons and ice axes. There were plenty of thrilling moments, even run-out from the last piece of pro!"
Take the A5 motorway to reach Courmayeur and park at the Skyway cable car.
