Pic Gaspard, Mountain summit in Hautes-Alpes, France.

The Pic Gaspard rises to an elevation of 3,881 meters within the Massif des Écrins, featuring steep rock faces and multiple climbing routes.

Henry Duhamel completed the first ascent in July 1878, accompanied by Pierre Gaspard, his son, and Christophe Roderon, establishing the standard route.

The mountain bears the name of Pierre Gaspard, a renowned guide from L'Oisans who achieved recognition for conquering La Meije in August 1877.

The nearest shelter, Refuge du Pavé, stands 1,344 meters south of the summit, providing accommodation for climbers attempting the ascent.

From this peak, photographer Marc Bret captured the longest photographed line of sight on Earth, reaching 443 kilometers to Pic de Finestrelles.
