climber Few know of it, but it marked a page in the history of French climbing. Located in the Paris region, bordering Lake City Courcouronnes side of Evry in the Essonne, La Dame du Lac overlooks the lake modestly from the 17 meters. This concrete sculpture of Pierre Székely Hungarian is one of the first artificial structures dedicated the escalation of France. Completed in 1975, she hosted for over 20 years a generation of climbers. Its equipment is guaranteed: a practice more safely, The Lady of the Lake is now closed. But it remains there, always been a symbol of its host city.
Benefiting from its advantageous exposure to the lake, The Lady of the Lake was assessed for ease of climbers who found themselves at his feet during the weekend. Many remember the hollow hammer, or the small niche accessible stops that served as shelters in case of modest brief weather. The north face, a little austere and always the shade provided some climbing routes short but intense (if I may say so :-).
now destined for a quiet retreat, free of climbers who came to tickle every day, she deserved her little tribute, from a climber who has climbed for several years with enthusiasm ...
