Boulder climbing on a single rock
The reputation of this climbing site goes beyond the borders of the Ossau valley. Climbers from all over the South West and also from the north of Spainfrom beginners to professional climbers, know Camps Bridge for the diversity of passages offered to all. It is practiced as abouldering "which consists of climbing on low rocks, without a harnessThe idea is to use crash pads to receive the mattresses, which are called "crash pads". The principle is to develop a gesture to overcome these rocks of varying difficulty, using the holds and reliefs sculpted by time. The rock that makes up the boulders of Pont de Camps is andesite, an unusual rockIt is a volcanic rock that looks a bit like granite. It is the same rock that makes up the Pic du Midi d'Ossau, another climbing mecca and emblem of the valley, located right next to Pont de Camps.
