Cretes

Below the north face of the Dents du Midi, an initial vertical stretch drops through a 65 meter rappel before the canyon flattens out for a while; runs October through December.

A second, shorter section below the road adds four to five more rappels and gets genuinely technical if flow is high, so check conditions before committing to that part too.
