Bonsoir from Norway!

My family and I would like to climb Petit Vignemale this friday 6th of July and we were wondering about the conditions and if we have to use crampons.
I have seen pictures on Instagram and it seems that some people dont use them.

We climbed Pic du Midi Bigorre yesterday without crampons.

If we really have to use crampons, do anyone know where to rent?

Best regards Vegar

Not used crampons to climb Vignemale is not a good idea!!!

I don't know where you can rent crampons. Maybe in Cauterets or in Gavarnie.

Like Cédric, I think it is dangerous without crampons..

There is still lot of snow in the Vignemale, and the last climb of Petit Vignemale is quite steep.
You can call the Refuge de Baysselance to answer the guardian about the conditions of snow.
