Impassabable

The Pra Sec glacier is now "officially" inaccessible. Last weekend a group of climbers has completed a new route on the East face of the Aiguilles de Pra Sec (on the left of this picture), and was prevented to access the wall directly via the glacier, having to resort to a long and difficult access through a system of grass ledges.

Even if someone could climb the glacier snout, the two serac falls visible at the center are 100m tall each, and absolutely unclimbable.
