South Face of d'Ayeres

Pointe sud d Ayeres and the unforgettable "Ayeres voie de 1959" graded ED 6a 300m

Pointe sud

If you gonna do one climb on the most spectacular Le Fizz, maybe this is the route to avoid...
Even though it's a nice experience.
The route has a lot of ingredients;
Long approach, a bit exposed to reach the base, some hairy old ropes to go up to pitch one, a quite exposed and as it says, delité, first pitches and long nice run outs on lose vertical rock.
I must say, its a bit chilling or challing I never learn.

But, if you any how decide to go after this selling text. Take the approach via the road that goes up to refuge Anterne after Plaine Joux and make a high traverse in to the rock face.
Look for the chairns and the fixed ropes. The first pitch has a old rope tread to belay of AND the rock gets a bit better higher up. Also there is some new bolts on the belays higher up, but dont expect to much:)
