The Grand Sablat: a chaos of blocks facing the Meije
The blocks are scattered in a magical setting: fresh air, lush meadows, bouncing streams and spontaneously generated clouds, all against a backdrop of Rake and Meije majestic. Its recent existence, at least as a climbing site, dates back to 2008. The potential has not yet been fully exploited, but even without this, the Grand Sablat already stands out as a site with magnificent boulders and exceptional scenery, for all lovers of beautiful climbing in the heart of large, unspoiled spaces.
Location of a FFME gathering for 2 years.
Practitioners are of course called upon to protect the mountain environment and climbing grounds, please:
