Some mind bending exposure on the Pas des Terreaux today. The section that was destroyed by a landslide has been partially remade with some rope protection. The path consists of a narrow sloped ledge with ball bearing like grit sitting on it. To one side a 45 degree slope with cliffs below. Not somewhere to bring the faint hearted.
All in all a long, tiring late afternoon in some wonderful scenery. Crossed two trailers on the way back from the Dome de Bellefont.
Route Taken: Instead of taking the tour de Balcon de Chartreuse from the source de Sanglier I descended directly to the car park via forest trails.
Weather: Very windy on the east and south of the Chartreuse and on the summit. Not bad on the summit plateau. Dry on the path.
Access: Clear, be careful of broken glass and open manholes at the hospital ruins.
Country: France Area: Chartreuse Trailhead: St Hilaire du Touvet
