After checking the gear we will start the approach through Aneu Valley, passing through the iconic emplacement of the Pombie hut and probably, having a look to all the climbers starting their routes in the huge Pombie Wall.
Climb:
Climbing Midi d’Ossau is an unique experience for those classic mountaineers or trekkers that are looking for a bigger challenge. Basically, the climb has 3 chimneys that will make us use our hands. They are not difficult, but the ambiance is amazing as long as we are gaining height. Before submitting, we will have a beautiful ridge section with unforgettable views.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
