Climbing around Ailefroide Guidebook

Description

This is a comprehensive guidebook describing the rock climbing on the numerous granite walls that surround Ailefroide, covering both single pitch sport routes and long multi-pitch alpine routes.

The guidebook describes 343 single pitch sport routes from easy F3’s to F9a across 13 sectors.  Also included are 168 long multi-pitch alpine routes from F5a to F6c in 23 sectors that are up to 500m long.  The vast majority of these multi-pitch routes are well bolted and face all directions around Ailefroide in a fantastic alpine setting.

All the routes are shown on colour photo topos.  For the multi-pitch routes there is also a short description, along with the required number of quickdraws, and/or the trad gear required.  Also shown on the topos are the abseil points (and length) along with any other descent information.  For each sector there is a location map, approach information, and orientation.
