Aiguille Crochues, Mountain summit in Aiguilles Rouges, France
The Aiguilles Crochues forms a mountain ridge made of gneiss rock reaching 2840 meters in elevation opposite to Mont Blanc in the Chamonix valley.
The geological formation of Aiguilles Crochues dates back to the Primary Era when tectonic movements created the characteristic relief of the Aiguilles Rouges.
Local mountaineers regard this route as an excellent training ground for developing climbing techniques on mixed rock and snow terrain.
Access to the climbing start point requires taking La Flégère cable car followed by the Index chairlift, then completing a one-hour approach hike.
The complete traverse of Aiguilles Crochues connects three distinct summits along a jagged ridge between Col des Crochues and Col des Dards.
