Choranche via corda (Vercors massif)

Description

The Choranche via corda is a very pretty walk at height. Accessible to all, it's a great way to discover the thrill of heights without scaring yourself.

Located in the Vercors massif, on the Presles cliff, this route takes us 50 metres above the ground, and the view over the valley gives an even greater vertiginous atmosphere. All roped up together, we progress along the route.

The route is divided into three parts:

• We start with a bit of easy climbing to reach the comfortable ledge (50 meters high). For this part, I climb first and set up everything so that everyone can climb safely.
• The route continues with a long traverse on a ledge (a narrow path on the edge of the void), on a tight rope, with a short break in a suspended cave!
• Finally, a 50-meter abseil takes us back to the ground. Thrills guaranteed!

This activity can also be combined with the unique experience of a night on a cliff in the Vercors (or Chartreuse) massif. And if you're in the mood for other vertical adventures, climbers can follow me for a multi pitch route climb in the Vercors, and non-climbers for an introduction to climbing around Grenoble.
