Estats

verified Ungraded Unknown flood risk

Estats climbs high in the same Montcalm massif as Artigue, out of Auzat, for a demanding ten hour round trip built around a 33 meter rappel.

Auzat's 2018 municipal order only allows descent between the last Saturday of April and October 15, and within narrow daily windows, roughly 7 to 10am on the upper section and 9am to 2pm on the lower. That is one of the tightest time windows found in this set, and it is not reflected in the stored permit text, which cites no rule at all.
