Grand Bec, Mountain summit in Savoie, France.
The Grand Bec rises to an elevation of 3,398 meters, featuring steep rock faces and exposed ridges composed primarily of mica schist formations.
The Voie Granger climbing route on Grand Bec's west face was established through efforts by Jean-Marc Granger and David Chevassu during 2013 and 2014.
The mountain stands as a testament to French Alpine climbing traditions, with local mountaineers developing numerous technical routes across its challenging faces.
Climbers can access the mountain via the Refuge du Grand Bec, located 1,749 meters west-southwest of the summit, providing essential shelter and resources.
The mountain presents twelve distinct climbing sections ranging from 30 to 50 meters in length, with technical difficulties varying from level 2 to 5b.
