Cavales North Pic - Normal route

With Pierre, wind changes our plans on Pic Nord des Cavales: we leave the west ridge for the south ridge, choosing good granite and the joy of climbing.

As we do every year, Pierre and I meet for a climb in the Écrins.

Since I am already in the Pavé area, and keen to spare my knees, I suggest the west ridge of Pic Nord des Cavales.

But the chilly atmosphere and westerly wind greeting us by the little glacial pool sensibly persuade us to abandon that plan.

We are here to enjoy ourselves, not to struggle!

We turn towards the south ridge instead. Pierre, a true connoisseur of rock, appreciates the extraordinary texture of this high-altitude granite…

No great feat, just enjoyment! That is what the mountains are about!
