Barre des Ecrins - Direct route

Antoine returns for Barre des Écrins. We climb the Directe Coolidge, enjoy the windless summit to ourselves and descend by the normal route.

Roped mountaineer climbing a snow slope on the Directe Coolidge, Barre des Écrins

Antoine is back on the mainland this year to climb Barre des Écrins. With conditions looking excellent, I suggest the Directe Coolidge.

Antoine is in great shape and we’re alone on the summit bright and early. Not a breath of wind. Moments like these are precious!

We descend the normal route in mixed conditions. Antoine is having a ball, and I’m savouring the time with such a good rope partner… even if he does wear me out a little. I’m not used to going this fast!
