La Stassaz, Megeve

Nice wide cascade tucked tightly in to a shady valley well above Megeve.  Various ice climbing options from 4-5 with some bolted dry / mixed routes at the base too…

A climber tackling the steeper and harder Right hand finish before descending on the lookers left of the crag on bolted anchors

The fine big pitch of the Stassaz Cascade above Megeve.

The steep crux of the central mixed route with a steep pull over the ice bulge with 2 nearby bolts for protection

The central corner on the bolted mixed routes at the base of the crag gives a fun excersise in hooking and bridging with some decent ice placements today, but also quite a few loose rocks

This is the alternative Right hand start to the Cascade which can also be used as a short easier pitch to a mid station bolted anchor
