Climbing Roc d'Esquers (grade C/D) is a fantastic experience for intermediate climbers. The route offers a good mix of slab climbing, short vertical sections, and exposed traverses. The rock is generally solid, providing good friction and positive holds. The exposure can be a bit unnerving in places, especially on the traverses, so a confident head is essential. Careful route finding is also important, as the markings can be a little sparse in some sections. Overall, Roc d'Esquers provides a rewarding and challenging climb with stunning views of the surrounding valley. It's a great climb to push your grade, practice placing protection (if lead climbing), and enjoy the alpine environment. Make sure to check weather conditions beforehand, as the route is exposed and can be affected by rain or wind.
