Pic Sans Nom, Alpine summit in Hautes-Alpes, France
The Pic Sans Nom rises to 3,913 meters in elevation within the Massif des Écrins range, featuring steep northern precipices bordered by the Glacier Noir.
Four mountaineers, including J.-B. Colgrove, Richard Pendlebury, Gabriel and Josef Spectenhauser, completed the first ascent of Pic Sans Nom on July 10, 1877.
The mountain stands as a testament to French alpine heritage within the protected boundaries of Écrins National Park, attracting mountaineers from numerous countries.
The southeast slopes provide the most accessible climbing route, classified as PD (Peu Difficile), with an isolation measure of 1.06 kilometers from surrounding peaks.
Three distinct glaciers surround the mountain: the Glacier Noir on the northern side, plus the Glacier du Coup de Sabre and Glacier de Sialouze on the southern slopes.
