"Les Gorges d'Ambin presented a challenging yet rewarding climb. The grade C rating accurately reflects the technical difficulty and exposure involved. The initial approach was straightforward, following a well-defined path through lush vegetation. However, the climbing itself demanded precision and careful footwork, particularly on the steeper sections. The rock, while generally solid, required attentive route-finding. Exposure was a significant factor, with several sections requiring careful consideration of each move. The views from the higher reaches were breathtaking, offering panoramic vistas of the surrounding mountains. The descent proved equally demanding, requiring careful navigation and attention to footing. Overall, Les Gorges d'Ambin provided a memorable and challenging climbing experience, well-suited to climbers comfortable with sustained difficulty and exposure at the grade C level."
