Balcon Est
A short, very steep climb above Gresse-en-Vercors in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The hardest 500 metres average 22.3% and come almost at once, before your legs have settled. Expect 9 to 15 minutes. At 2.7 TEP it sits in the easier half of the catalogue. Northeast-facing: morning sun only, and snow lingers into spring. On the SAC scale it is mountain hiking, with uneven ground that asks for some care. The nearest named summit, Sommet de Peyre Rouge at 1,941 m, is 290 m away.
