Hi Guys

I'm heading to Bagnères de Bigorre next week and could do with some advice/help regarding climbing in the area. It looks like the guide for the area is out of print. Any info on crags nearby with 5s and 6s would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

It's been a long time since I was in the area, but  Trassouet is the nearest crag, which is OK, but nothing special, topo here: https://issuu.com/arnaud.chelle/docs/trassouet 

Pont d'Espagna is a lovely place to climb - short granite routes in an alpine meadow. Topos (and for some other crags) here: https://rando.valleesdegavarnie.com/search?categories=3 

Looks like  Suberpene would be worth a visit: guidebook (Grimpe en vallée d'Aure et du Cinca) on sale here: https://www.aure-vertical.com/nos-topos 

It will no doubt be hot, and you may need to seek out more shady or higher altitude crags.

Climbed a couple of routes here, very good.

More multi pitch and mountaineering routes in the same area

Thanks Mark 👍

Thanks Rory 👍

Pene Haute is a super crag.

When we were there (over 20 years ago) you could drive up the tracks to a parking spot on the col. A level(ish) walk gets you to the climbing. There are aspects facing SE through SW (approx). Only downside I recall is that there were stories of cars getting broken into. That always seemed odd considering the location.
