Male Vesse (Upper)
verified
Ungraded
Unknown flood risk
Prads-Haute-Bléone, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence
The biggest single rappel in this batch, 67m, is on Male Vesse's upper tier, which drops 500m of limestone relief over an 8 to 10 hour day rated v5 a2 at commitment V.
Multiple names on record for this one (Male Vesse III, amont, aval) point to a canyon described piecemeal across sources; weigh conflicting beta with that in mind. General regime of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence decree applies: open 1 May to 30 November, mornings until 18h, no fee or registration.
