Bendola (Full)
verified
Ungraded
Unknown flood risk
La Brigue, Alpes-Maritimes
The full integral line down the Bendola: 7500 meters and 1200 meters of descent in one push, roughly 9 hours, open April through October. Ropewiki gives no rappel count for this variant, only a 45 meter longest drop.
This is the combined descent that the separate Bendola (Upper) and Bendola (Lower) records cover in pieces, and it requires a shuttle. Worth flagging: the numbers here are noticeably smaller than what Bendola (Upper) alone lists, 11500 meters and 1500 meters of depth, so the two ropewiki pages appear to describe overlapping but not identical lines. Cross check before planning around either figure exactly.
