Crabioules

Crabioules is a rocky summit in the Pyrenees between France and Spain, composed of massive granite blocks. The steep slopes and rocky structures create technically demanding routes for experienced climbers.

The summit has been explored by climbers since the 19th century, with early expeditions documenting its technical challenges. These early attempts established the foundation for modern mountaineering in this region.

The summit marks the border between France and Spain, with climbers and hikers exploring both sides of the massif. The granite formations shape the mountain's appearance and represent a recognized feature of the Pyrenees landscape.

The summit can be reached via established trails from both French and Spanish sides, with clear waymarking to guide climbers. Technical climbing experience is essential to safely navigate the peak and return.

Despite its high ranking among Pyrenees peaks, it remains less famous than neighboring summits in the range. Its technical routes require specialized skills, making it of interest primarily to dedicated mountaineers rather than casual hikers.
