Monte Coudrey - Albard - T.Rex

## Approach

If coming from Turin/Milan, exit the autoroute at Pont-St-Martin, 40 km before Aosta. Take direction Albard di Bard.  
If coming from Aosta/Courmayeur, exit at Verres. Follow the national road past the crags of Machaby and through where the valley narrows at the Bard Fortress. Just as the valley opens out again, you enter a village (Donnas) and just as you enter the village and opposite the first building on the right, there is a turn to the left, with a post with a set of blue signs 20m up the turning. The bottom of these signs is for Albard.  
Follow the road and signposts, initially through vineyards, to its end (small tarmac carpark), some 3.5 kms up the hill (though it seems much further).  

Follow the track on the right, leaving almost immediately for a path. 1B on the left (this is also the descent path from the Dr Jimmy sector, red marks). The path soon crosses a little bridge with iron railings and becomes single track. After about 10 minutes, you arrive at a flat area of bare rock. 1B goes straight on, turn right here, sign "Settore Alti" painted on the rock. Continue to a boulder with the words "Mono Tiri" painted on one side (barely visible) and "Settore Lawrence” on the side visible to those descending. The path on the right leads to Lawrence, a one-pitch climbing area that can be seen over on the right. You pass a ruined building with an ancient cable lift. Shortly after this, keep right and upwards (ignoring the little, descending path on the left) to reach the base of a cliff. Continue rightwards (avoid going too high) until the path crosses some slabs with a fixed rope and a three-way yellow arrow. Scramble up easily for 5m to a ledge. Four routes start from this ledge. Down and on the left is "Lato SX", (name visible on the rock in white). Next is "Pilier del Forte". The next two, starting at the same bolt, are "Marimba" and lastly "Pà Raumer E I Suoi Pargoli" is the right-hand-most line.

## Route

| Pitch      | Description                                                  |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| P1,4c,20m  | Shares a stance with Lato SX to the left                     |
| P2,5a,20m  | Can be easily combined with the first pitch                  |
| P3,5a,25m  | The two bolt belay of Lato SX is a couple of metres to the left |
| P4,4b,25m  | Belay at the birch tree, old purple sling maybe in situ.     |
| P5,4a,25m  |                                                              |

## Descent

Abseil down the neighbouring route, "Marimba" (on the right looking upwards), a short 20m abseil to a double bolt chain belay then two 45m abseils to reach the starting ledge. Can be split into five 25m abseils. Alternatively, take a faint path on the right, which leads back to the start.

Monte Coudrey - Albard - Lato SX

Pleasant route in the Dr Jimmy sector

### Approach

20 mins  
From the carpark at the end of the Albard di Bard road, follow the 1A path between two low stone walls being careful to turn right at the yellow markings. Go down the rocky ridge and into the woods to just after the path crosses a stream. Turn right up towards the cliffs (cairn and Gatto Nando painted on a rock). Ignore the first line of bolts but continue up and to the left to the start of Gatto Nando, (name written and picture of cat).

| L8,4b,25m   | To reach the start of this pitch, follow a vague path on the left to the foot of a slab with bolts. |

### Descent

Either from the top of P7 or P8, follow vague paths to the right (looking upwards) until you join the main 1B path which leads back down to the carpark.

The short pitches together with easy access and return make this a non-stressful outing.

Monte Coudrey - Albard - Gatto Nando

A route that links three separate cliffs, not as dramatic as Paretone, but a lot quieter.

### Approach

30mins

If coming from Turin/Milan exit the autoroute at Pont-St-Martin, 40km before Aosta. Take direction Albard di Bard.  
If coming from Aosta/Courmayeur exit at Verres. Follow the national road past the crags of Machaby and through where the valley narrows at the Bard Fortress. Just as the valley opens out again you enter a village (Donnas) and just as you enter the village and opposite the first building on the right, there is a turn to the left, with a post with a set of blue signs 20m up the turning. The bottom of these signs is for Albard.  
Follow the road and signposts, initially through vineyards, to its end (small tarmac carpark), some 3.5 kms up the hill, (though it seems much further).  
Follow the track on the right, leaving almost immediately for a path on the left (this is the descent path from the Dr Jimmy sector, red marks). The path soon crosses a little bridge with iron railings and becomes single track. After about 10 minutes you arrive at a boulder with the words "Mono Tiri" painted on one side and "Settore Lawrence” on the side visible to those descending. This is a one pitch climbing area that can be seen over on the right. Continue upwards to a viewpoint at a flat slab with the words “Settori Nuovi” painted on it. Turn right here following the indications for this area. You pass a ruined building with an ancient cable lift. Shortly after this keep right and upwards, (ignoring the little, descending path on the left,) to reach the base of a cliff. Continue rightwards, (avoid going too high,) until the path crosses some slabs with a fixed rope. Two routes start at the two bolts at the end of the fixed rope, (names painted on the rock.) ”Pà Raumer E I Suoi Pargoli” is the right-hand line of bolts. ("Marimba" is the left-hand one.)

### Route

| Pitch        | Description |
| ------------ | ----------- |
| P1,4b,35m    | 8 bolts. Go up to the bolt belay, a little bulge at just over halfway. |
| P2,3b,45m    | 2 bolts. More pleasing to take the variant. |
| Variant 1    | Better climbing is to be had by climbing the second pitch of "Marimba" 4c 40m 5 bolts. To get to this traverse easily leftwards for 15m to another bolt belay by a small dead tree, no bolts. From the belay, follow the line of bolts to the tree ledge. |
| P3,2,60m     | (100m for the variant) 0 bolts. Walk rightwards until it is possible to descend a little chimney between rock and a tree and continue down and rightwards to the start of the next pitch at a large crack, behind a larger tree. |
| P4,5a,30m    | 5 bolts. Use the tree to overcome the initial part of the crack, then follow the flake crack to a bolt belay. |
| P5,5a,40m    | 6 bolts. Continue up the flake crack and easier slabs to a large ledge. Belay on a tree. (This is not the ledge from where Captain Walker etc. start as indicated in the topo.) |
| P5 bis,2,20m | 0 bolts. Go up through the trees and slightly left and then back, up a little corner to where it steepens. Belay on a single bolt. |
| P6,4b,45m    | 2 bolts. Climb the corner and then more easily up to a very large ledge with lots of trees and a path along the bottom of the next part of the cliff. (Level with the start of "Captain Walker".) |
| P7,4b,45/50m | 5 bolts. Climb up the slabs to a bolt belay. There is another bolt belay slightly higher up. Only from this one can you reach the final belay with a 50m rope. |
| P8,4c,50m    | 10 bolts. Climb up easily, then trend diagonally rightwards to finish up a fine pillar. |
| Variant 2    | A more sustained finish can be had by doing "Captain Walker" instead of pitches 7 and 8. To get to this, walk 20/25m to the right of the start of pitch 7. The name of the route is painted on the rock. Three pitches of 5a. Follow the bolts, the second pitch trends to the right to a bolt belay in an open corner. |

### Descent

Abseil down the line of the Pa Raumer, two abseils, (the first diagonally rightwards looking down, 50m rope just reaches) to regain the large ledge. It is also possible to regain this ledge by abseiling down Captain Walker, but be careful not to get the rope snagged on the second abseil.  
From here it is possible to either: walk/scramble down. The path improves as do the indications, (cairns, red paint marks,) and finally brings you to the foot of the first pitch,  
or: continue abseiling down the route to the start of pitch 4, from where it is possible to join the descent path.

The Topo "Manu Nude 2" is wrong for this route. P6 is below the big ledge where "Captain Walker" starts.  
A 50m rope is only just long enough.  
Slabs facing SE, to be avoided on hot days.  
Possible to miss out the first 3 pitches by walking directly to the start of pitch 4.  
The paths are often buried under leaves and so difficult to follow.
