Itinerary description
Les Praz L'aiguillon Aiguilles de Baulmes Cave Noire Puits de Jacob Les Rebans
Date : 2023.05.31
Duration on paper : 03h02
Duration real with breaks : 04h41
Difficulty for me : T4
Physical : average
Technical : difficult
Fear : very high
Average Slope : +14.7% -11.5% (-13% max recommended)
Attendance ascent/summit/descent : null/null/low
Comment : DO NOT DO THIS HIKE this was an exploratory hike with a double fail/abort
check hike 027 and cut le Suchet segment to make the regular safe Aiguilles de Baulmes hike.
So I had two goals that day, see if there's a walkable path below Les Aiguilles de Baulmes supposedly with a rope at the end to climb to the cross above the cliff and an attempt to enter la Cave Noire I skipped for decades, I failed at both that day, too scared I turned back (see hike 111 for the 2nd and final attempt).
There is a path below Aiguilles de Baulmes but I turned back at a short but sketchy part of the trail angled down with fine dirt/gravel that seemed very loose (was indeed extremely dangerous see hike 111) for cave noire it was starting to get dark and I couldn't see how far the trail went and if it was secured so turned back (success on hike 111).
As a "bonus" at the beginning I climbed the edge of a rock ridge with no safety and a deadly fall behind me (picture 2-3) please don't do that leave it to mountaineers.
