Beuil, Alpes-Maritimes
Twenty four rappels, none over 15 meters, strung through 3200 meters of schist rather than the limestone that dominates this region. The vertical rating is modest but the commitment rating is V, the highest in this batch, and the shuttle runs 18 kilometers and is required.
Low individual rappel heights but a long chain of them, 24 stations, plus a mandatory long shuttle push this into serious commitment territory despite the easy grade on paper. Sort the shuttle logistics before the trailhead, not after.
