Petit Pic Des Alharisses · 2,825 m · Néouvielle Massif · France
From the barracks at Cap de Long, climb as best you can up the steep gully on the left. Cross the stream and angle to the right; you will find traces on the second step and cairns that allow you to reach the foot of the ridge. 1h. Skirt the ridge of Pique de Halharises to approach it by its north-west flank.
In the scree at the base, locate a rock blade. On the left there is a system of smooth slabs and on the right a scree couloir with a patch of snow. The route takes on a rock blade that is climbed by a crack (V-): a 3 m traverse to the left allows you to climb onto a step and catch a flake that lets you return to the right (V, 1p). Step over fragile rocks to climb directly (fine V+ passage) then follow a vague spur. Excellent belay station on a small platform to the right (1p). Return 1 m to the left to cross a smooth slab (V, 1p) then climb easily to the ridge. Continue along the whole ridge to the petit Halharises and if desired traverse the integral ridge.
Slings, cams and small friends
Variant approach to the north-east ridge of petit Halaharisès which allows you to increase the difficulty but only 50 m are sustained.
