Hike and Climb in the Aiguilles de Baulmes

Publié le 29 mars 2025 à 10:40

This weekend, I went with three friends to the Aiguilles de Baulmes for a day of intensive climbing. We started by walking up to the Aiguilles de Baulmes, which must have taken us half an hour, including the exploration of a bunker right on the cliff.
We arrived at a first spot on a magnificent rock, but unfortunately the routes were quite difficult. We did a 4c as a warm-up, but I couldn't find the belay, so I had to move to another route nearby. On the same spot I tried a random route which turned out to be a 6b and I came down about halfway down.
So we moved on and after a bit more walking we arrived on a new wall, not very big but with some excellent routes, I did two 6a's in the lead and climbed well with my mates. And since we'd been here before, we didn't do all the routes and moved again.

So we set off for the big cliffs to the east of our position. We got a bit lost along the way, but we did come across a wall called “sous la croix”, between 40 and 60m with routes up to 8b+. But due to lack of time, we only did one route of about 20m, rather badly indicated and with hidden spits, which made me climb 8m above the last draw, which was a rather unpleasant experience...
Then we packed up and headed back down to the foot of the Needles, where we took the car home.
