Climbing 'Le Traverseé des Anges (4)', graded C/D, is an exhilarating journey that truly lives up to its name. From the moment you clip in, you're aware of the incredible exposure. The initial sections are challenging, testing your grip and footwork on the steep rock and via ferrata elements. As you ascend, the route gradually reveals breathtaking panoramic views, making the effort worthwhile. The true 'traverse of angels' unfolds in the most exposed parts, where you navigate airy traverses, often with significant drops beneath your feet, relying on carefully placed cables, iron rungs, and the occasional natural rock hold. It demands both physical stamina – especially in the arms and legs – and mental fortitude to manage the height and sustained effort. Reaching the summit or the end of the traverse is a profound moment of accomplishment, a blend of relief and immense satisfaction, having conquered a route that feels like dancing on the edge of the sky. The memory of the stunning vistas and the thrilling exposure lingers long after you've unclipped.
