Guide de haute montagne & alpiniste de renommée internationale, Patrick Gabarrou a réalisé plus de 300 premières dans les Alpes et sur les montagnes du monde.
Patrick Gabarrou a.k.a. "Le Gab" (born 19 July 1951 in Évreux), is a French mountaineer and mountain guide who is credited with more than 300 first ascents, most of them in the Mont Blanc massif.
Last summer, Gabarrou added this 650-meter extension over four separate attempts. The completion of this line, a 1300-meter route with difficulties up to F7a, coincided with the 150th anniversary of the Matterhorn’s first ascent.
