Introduction

A route along the east ridge of the Vercors, a long wall with a dolomitic appearance. Don't forget to look up!

The Col de l'Arzelier - 1154 m - lies at the eastern end of the Vercors Massif, at the foot of the Rocher des Deux Sœurs. Despite its modest altitude, its ascent via the northern slope offers some nice challenges.

Average slope : 6m
