Couloir E (face SE)
A fairly straightforward route with several options at the end of varying difficulty
Start from the parking area at the hairpin bend just above Porté Puymorens (42.550033,1.842221)
Head towards Étang de Lanoux then leave it on your right and climb generally straight up towards Coume d'Or.
There, several couloirs are available to you of varying difficulty (we tested two that we would grade F+ and PD-.)
Return via the HRP then walk back along the tarmac road/hitchhike.
The track is incomplete: it shows the final PD- ascent heading west, and the beginning of the descent across open ground heading south to rejoin the HRP.
Watch out for potential cornices on arrival at the top, potentially avoidable by scree at the end.
We found no guidebook for this route.
We saw the lines while doing Carlit and wanted to go test this.
We found nothing concerning this route online, no doubt it has been climbed quite a bit given how obvious it is.
Pick a date to see who is going
Start from Puymorens col. Follow the normal route of Puig de Coma d'Or via Coma d'En Garcia, Porteilla d'En Garcia, and reach the main summit of Coma d'Or by a short airy section. Allow 2h15 for approach.
