Route Description

We'll begin in the great parking of Cap de Long in the path in left side of the lake. The path make some zig-zags and zones of “up and down” to finally reach the end of the lake. The cairns turn to left in a little valley with the view of Campbieil (left) and the ridge Badet-Pic Long-Ag.Tourrat (front).

We'll walk in direction to a spun in the other side of the river. Tha path goes to the upper part of the valley in an wide area. We'll walk in direction to the col between Campbieil and Badet but when we'll reach the col under peak Maubic (small pyramid in right side) we'll turn to S.E. (left) to reach the bottom of west face of Campbieil. We'll walk in direction to the spun S.W. of the peak to entry to this ridge. In the other side of the spun-ridge the ramps is easiest and we'll turn to left to reach the small col between Campbieil (3173m) and the Pico de la Lentilla (3157m), a secondary summit in S.W. ridge.
