Mighty!

Hi Rob,
many thanks for sharing. On this face there are also another French route running on the left ridge, a Catalana Route and a Swiss route, both running near the middle, (both classed ED sup) and an ED sup route climbed in 1977 by the unforgettable Renato Casarotto - alone - running on the steep wall on the left of the Paragot route.
many cheers
silvia

Re: Mighty!

Casarotto climbed this face alone? That's amazing!
