Midi d’Ossau

The Midi D’Ossau peak is one of the referral points in the Pyrenees mountains. It rises as a border between France and Spain and even consider it as the Cervino of the Pyrenees given the isolation with the close mounts and given also its prominent shape. Its access is relatively easy and the shelter placed next to the wall makes it even more accessible. The quality of the granite and the alpine atmosphere characterize it and climbing in this place require being used to walking through mountains, not allowing us to relax until stepping the floor because all its downs require rappels and overhangs, passing through a difficult terrain.
