Climbing Session: Le Phasme (Gorges du Loup)

First visit (and probably not the last ;) to Le Phasme, in Gorges du Loup. Even though the crag is still quite dusty, it is very promising. It has been equipped so short ago that routes don't even have names yet. For those who have been to Mesa Verde, Le Phasme is just facing it, on the other side of the river and a bit higher. Here's the map:

And here the only guide I have found so far:


One day, 2 new projects for the TODO list :-). I worked on routes nº4 and nº11 (if I am not mistaken). Both are really nice routes:

Nº4 does not have big jugs, its mainly flat horizontal edges and slopes. You really need to dose your energy if you want to chain it up.

Nº11 is quite long and physical. There are big holds and columns, long moves, ... quite sporty. I missed a left hand and run out of energy just 2 moves away from the anchor :_( Otherwise it would have been one of my best on-sights.

Thanks Marco and Alix for the great session!!
