Grande aiguille d'Ansabère, Mountain peak in Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France.

The Grande Aiguille d'Ansabère rises to 2377 meters in elevation and stands near the French-Spanish border within the Larra-Belagua massif of the Pyrenees.

Marcel Cames and Henri Sarthou completed the first successful ascent on June 27, 1927, following the earlier tragic attempt by Calame and Carrive in 1923.

The mountain holds significance in French climbing history, with multiple technical routes established through decades of mountaineering developments and achievements.

Climbers can reach the location from the town of Lescun by following marked trails to the Cabanes d'Ansabère, positioned 1118 meters east of the summit.

The eastern wall features an exceptional geological formation that required the installation of iron bars in a crack to enable successful climbing attempts.

Location: Lescun

Elevation above the sea: 2,377 m

GPS coordinates: 42.90051,-0.72954
