Pic Lory, Mountain summit in Isère, France
Located in the Écrins massif, Pic Lory reaches an elevation of 4,088 meters, making it one of the highest peaks in the French Alps.
The first recorded ascent of Pic Lory occurred on June 25, 1864, when mountaineers A.W. Moore, Horace Walker, Edward Whymper, and their guides reached the summit.
The mountain serves as a representation of French alpine heritage, attracting mountaineers who seek to conquer its challenging terrain throughout the climbing season.
Climbers accessing Pic Lory typically follow the north face and west ridge route, which requires advanced mountaineering skills and appropriate weather conditions.
Despite its considerable height, Pic Lory is classified as a secondary peak of Barre des Écrins, missing from the official UIAA list of independent 4000-meter Alps summits.
