Pic de Barbe de Bouc, Mountain summit in Hautes-Pyrénées, France.
The granite peak of Pic de Barbe de Bouc reaches an elevation of 2964 meters, making it the second highest point in the Ardiden massif.
The mountain received its name from the frequent presence of salsify plants, known as goat's beard, which grow abundantly in the Pyrenees region.
The peak stands between the Lac Noir ravine and Badet d'Aubiste valley, surrounded by five mountain lakes including Badet, Bastampe, and Litouèse.
Access requires extensive preparation due to unmarked trails, significant elevation gain, and unstable granite terrain, with three main routes starting from Fruitière.
The mountain features a 500-meter corridor on its southern face that overlooks the Lac Noir ravine, creating distinct geological formations.
