Ivor has passed through some photos from last week, so I thought I’d upload a few of the day on the excellent Voie Muriabelle on the Pointe Occidentale de Burlan; see Euan’s earlier report for more details. All photos in this post courtesy of Ivor McCourt.

The pillar on the 6th pitch of this route would be a three star pitch in it’s own right on any crag.

 The descent by abseil is quite complex and care is required to avoid the ropes getting stuck on the rough weathered granite.
