This rope is named after The Cirque de Gavarnie which is part of the Monte Perdido massif. This cirque is flanked by a large rock wall with three imposing vertical gradients. The cirque is surrounded by several peaks standing over 3,000 meters, so climbing its walls requires an extraordinary level of skill and technique, with routes of up to 1,500 meters of change in altitude. Top climbers tackle its walls in the winter season, with ice climbing and mixed styles predominating.
