Agulla Badet, Mountain peak in Néouvielle massif, Hautes-Pyrénées, France

Agulla Badet is a mountain summit in the Néouvielle massif that rises dramatically with steep rocky walls on its north-facing side. The sharp granite peak stands out clearly when viewed from the surrounding terrain.

The peak became protected in 1967 when the Pyrenees National Park was established to safeguard the mountain ecosystem. Climbers gradually mapped and documented routes to the summit over decades of expeditions.

The name Badet Orratza is Basque for "Badet needle", and Agulla Badet is its Catalan equivalent; both refer to the same 3,135 m summit on the NW ridge of Pic Badet. The peak appears on the list of Pyrenean three-thousanders, a catalogue maintained by climbers and used to plan outings in the massif.

Climbing this summit requires technical skill and mountain experience, particularly on the steep northern walls. Summer months provide the best conditions when snow and ice have retreated.

The name Agulla Badet means "Badet Needle" in Catalan, and the peak rises just 18 m above the saddle on the NW ridge of Pic Badet, so it is a subsidiary top rather than an independent mountain. Its 3,135 m elevation places it among the Pyrenean three-thousanders.
