1. How many bolts are there, or how many nuts and cams are needed? I want to secure my climb well since I will try it with my dad, who is not a very experienced climber.
2. How long rope is needed to make the abseils, or how long is the abseils?
Hi Crille, since I've climbed the Aiguille de la Tsa a few years a go I don't exactly know what gear we brought. We did use a 60 m single rope (which was ok for the abseils). I'm not sure whether shorter ropes are sufficient. I think we had a very small rack of nuts (3 or so). I would recommend to bring a little more. For instance, a small rack of nuts and 3 cams. In the end it all depends on your climbing skills and preferences. The belays (for both climbing and abseiling) are well equipped.

Re: I hopeI'm afraid not...:-(
My camera broke down the morning before I climbed the mountain. I hope other SP members have pictures of the climb.

Re: GearOk, thank you very much!
It seems that I brought enough gear, now we just hope for good weather.
