Philippe Gatta – Climbing Dies Irae

Less than 24 hours after getting from the Kangchenjunga expedition we went to Deverse in the Gorges du Loup for a photoshot for Berghaus. I was totally exhausted after 4 routes but I could make a descent climb in Deverse Satanique and went up in Dies Irae for the photos. It was good to rock climb again and despite all the rain we had this winter, Deverse is dry and ready for the summer season…

Routes: 70 routes from 6a to 9a, 50+ above 8a. See the topo of Deverse here.
