Glacier
de la Meije/Decente des
Enfetchores
| Vertical drop : | 2 000 - 2 300 m B-02 |
| Facing : | North |
Technical Difficulties/Other Relevant Details : |
Start off with one rappel from the Col de la Meije (alt. 3 357m). Traverse skis left, keep high. Be careful of crevasses! You can either shin up another 300m to benefit a longer decent down the Enfetchores. Eventually the slope gets steeper and steeper.You must turn skis right before the run out of the glacier tongue. Take it easy! Traverse right and leave the glacier until you see a series of snowfields of terraces/shelves. Complex route finding that will eventually lead you under the hanging glacier tongue .. skis left. Ski under the glacier tongue and turn skis right until you see a small col. From here you descend under the Glacier de la Meije. |
