Pic de Cambalès, Granite summit in Hautes-Pyrénées, France.
The Pic de Cambalès rises to 2965 meters elevation and features northern cliffs measuring 200 meters in height within the Marcadau massif.
French mountaineer Henry Russell completed the first recorded climb of Pic de Cambalès on July 20, 1877, establishing a route to the summit.
The peak forms a natural border between France and Spain, separating the watersheds of the Adour flowing to the Atlantic and the Ebro to the Mediterranean.
The ascent starts from Refuge Wallon at 1866 meters and requires a 10-hour hike with a total elevation gain of 1650 meters.
Two small lakes at Col d'Aragon at 2808 meters represent the highest water points in this section of the Pyrenees.
