In my MTB series "the monster sequence of Queyras", I present to you: La Mortice!
It's a 3000 peak normally easy ... but we chose to ride a never done face, opposite to the normal route: the south face, full of cliffs (in fact it's a big cliff of 1000 m … 😁) and without any path.
This is a line that I had in mind for a while ... I was convinced that it could pass on a mountain bike, even if some locals explained to me that it wasn’t possible 😏
A few figures: 3169 m altitude, 1700 m drop, -10°C at the top (with a good icy wind), 5 passages at at least 35° (78%), 9 hours of riding. One of the most beautiful MTB moments of the year.
