Classe Montagne Epinal is a classic long limestone route located on the Paroi des Sources in Taghia. It offers technical slab climbing on excellent rock, with sustained difficulty and a true mountain atmosphere. The route is known for its elegant line and delicate footwork rather than steep power climbing.
First climbed in May 1992 by Philippe Mengin, Thierry Ruiz, and Yves Fredriksen, the route has become a reference climb for slab lovers in Taghia.
Climbing Style
The climbing is mostly on slabs and compact faces, requiring balance, precise foot placements, and calm movement. Holds are often small, and protection can feel spaced, giving the route a serious and committing feel despite being bolted.
