The name

the name is Grand Vignemale and not Grande Vignemale.
You must attach the peak to its massif: Vignemale Massif (parent)

Hi Rafa,

Whoops again

Hi Rafa,
thanks for the check, I have tended to roughly position the arrow on the digital map rather than entering the coordinates directly. A bit lazy I guess. I will correct it.
Gracias Johnnie

Anne Lister

The first documented, "official" ascension of this peak was by English landowner and traveler Anne Lister and three local guides in 1838.[2][3][4]
Some man came up after her and tried to lay claim about being first, but he was met by her and her lawyer and one of the guides that got bribed by the man.

Re: Anne Lister

Hi Sheridanne,

cheers Johnnie
