Aiguille Pierre Joseph - Pointe 2842 : Voie Comte

Hello,

Cloud you help to improve the topo to define que quality of equipement field (P1/P2/P3 etc …)

For reminder :

This fields details the presence and quality of fixed anchors (bolts, pitons, spits) as protection points for rock or ice climbing.

P1 (well bolted):

Sport climbing bolted with 10 or 12mm expansion bolts, chemical bolts, etc. The route may not be equiped for abseil.
Required gear: 12 to 14 quickdraws, some of them lengthy, 1 to 2 slings to complete equipment in grade II pitches.

P2 (partially bolted):

Classic route with abundant equipment of good quality, essentially pegs and a few expansion bolts. Nevertheless, it may be necessary to complete or strengthen the equipment in place.
Classic or modern bolted route with expansion bolts or pegs only in the difficult unprotectable sections and at belays.
Sport route on 8mm expansion bolts or other aging equipment.
Required gear: it depends on the route. For a grade D or higher route, at least 8 nuts, 5 cams, 4 slings, long quickdraws.

P3 (some bolts):

Less classic route with little equipment (most protection must be placed and most belays must be built) and/or of very bad quality.
Required gear: it depends on the route. For a grade D or higher route, at least a complete set of nuts and friends from Cams ranging from Camalot #0.3 to Camalot #3 - #4, 2 hammers, 6 pegs of various shapes.

P4 (not bolted):

Route with no bolts or a few spurious points.
Required gear: It depends on the route. For a grade D or higher route, at least that of the "some bolts" category.

Sure, I’d consider it P2. The route has been just re-equipped with the brand new and high quality bolts in the anchors. The old pegs have been cleaned or corrected. There are no additional bolts except for the anchors, though.
