Ice-fall climbing from l’Argentiere-la-Bessee in the Massif Ecrin. Ace, but not (in our experience) a very reliable winter venue.
- Fave route – Ancrage de Dent (WI5), CC Winter Ice Meet 2002.
- We didn’t find very good conditions. Although I know others have in other years, and it may also be the case that we went too early in the season.
- A fun option if the ice isn’t in, is to sample some of the via ferrata! Yeah, it seems mad to run up those metal cables and stuff when it should be freezing…
