St. Lucia Pitons

The twoPitonsare of course the most photographed landmark on the island.

The Gross Piton is easier climbed with well established tours that provide transportation to the

"Interpretive centre"(a small welcome center of sorts with descriptions and models of the local

geography, geology and plant life).

The park service mandates that guides be used when climbing this peak. The guides are park

service employees that are professional, informative and fun to hike with. The climb averages 2

hours to the summit and rewards those that make it with spectacular views of the island and

the Petit Piton. This is a hike, not a climb and although strenuous does not require any special

skills or present much exposure or danger.

The Petit is quite different in that there is no welcome center or even a marked trailhead for

that matter. Although no guide is mandatory on this peak, you would be well served finding a

local that knows the route. The climb does have some primitive fixed ropes and does present

some exposure. The summit is a much smaller area, but has even better views.

Gros PitonPitons Management Area

UNESCO World Heritage SiteSt Lucia

Towering nearly 3,000 feet above sea level, the majestic peak of Gros Piton, along with its twin peak PetitPiton, dominates the western coast of St Lucia. The lush green slopes of these pyramid shaped icons riseabruptly from the sapphire blue waters of the Caribbean, filling the adventurous traveler with wanderlust.In fact, the first time we saw photographs of these spectacular landmarks we made up our minds to climbat least one, if not both of the peaks. Upon researching the climbs, we discovered that only Gros Piton(2,619 feet), the taller of the two volcanic mountains, is sanctioned by the government as a legal climb.Therefore, we headed for St Lucia in hopes of reaching the summit of Gros Piton.

Beyond their aesthetic appeal, the Pitons offer an opportunity, quite literally, for high adventure. PetitPiton (2,461 feet) is much steeper than Gros Piton is, and although it is discouraged, people do climb tothe summit. Gros Piton is more accessible for hikers, though it is a steep ascent nonetheless. You willneed to start your hike in the coolness of early morning to ensure that you are back down by nightfall, asthe climb can take anywhere from three to six hours one-way. The interpretive center in the town of FondGens Libre, where you pay your fees and obtain a required guide, is your first stop.

Situated at the foot of Gros Piton is the community of Fond Gens Libre, whose name means valley ofthe free people. This small, old settlement dates back to the 1700s, and during the slave rebellion of1748, Brigands, or black freedom fighters, used the Gros Piton area as a secure haven, and many of theirdescendents still live in the town and serve as hiking guides. As you drive the dirt road that leads to thetown, you will appreciate how inaccessible the area must have been, and still is to this day. Along theway, you will pass through magnificent stands of cocoa, banana, and coconut, maneuver your car arounda myriad of bumps and potholes, and ford two streams, before reaching the sign that marks your arrival.

At the interpretive center, we were greeted by Eva and Jimmy who graciously welcomed us to FondGens Libre. Jimmy, a representative of Gros Piton Tours, then used a model of the mountain to describehow we would approach the summit, pointing out the different highlights along the way. He also providesa fascinating history lesson, detailing the life of the people who used Gros Piton as a refuge. Afterwards,

he introduced us to our guide, Lucianus Denis. Lucianus, Lucian for short, is a Rastafarian with an easy-going and witty personality, and his companionship as a guide was a highlight of the hike. Just beforeheading out to the trail, Eva collected our fee of $25.00 USD per person, these fees go towards protectingthe trails and help to pay the salary of the guides.

The trail starts out relatively easy, gradually climbing higher up the piton. After a brief jaunt through aforested area, where Lucian pointed out a plant he called the tree of life, the canopy opens up to views ofGros Piton. Here we passed a man carrying a machete, a common garden implement on St Lucia, andbalancing a large bag on his head. Everyone on the island of St Lucia, including the stranger we met onthe trail, was very friendly and open. They are always willing to offer a smile.

We hiked further down the path until we came to a spur trail, where hidden in the dry coastal forestthere sits a small cave that was once used by the brigands as a hideout. The cave, a mere alcove in alarge rock, once provided a hiding place for the runawaysthe ceiling is still blackened from the smoke oftheir cooking fires.

Leaving the cave behind, we rejoined the main trail and continued towards the summit. Soonthereafter, a break in the trees provided us with our first views of the Caribbeanmagnificent!

From this point on the trail really starts to climb. Lucian led the way, setting a slow and deliberatepace. We were now hiking over loose rock, which required concentration to prevent spraining an ankle.

Flat areas were quickly becoming few and far between, but onward we climbed. Honestly, even thoughthe trail was steep and rocky, it wasnt nearly as bad as I had expected it to be, at least so far.

I looked down at my watch, noting that we were now one hour into the hike, and according to Lucian,the halfway point was just ahead.

After a few moments of catching our breath, we stood in awe at the sight before us. Petite Piton wasdirectly ahead, rising abruptly out of the sea. Just barely visible in the distance was Martinique. The spireof Petite Piton seemed almost close enough to touch, and even if the trail would have ended there, thehike would have been spectacular, but other great views were still to come.

The second half of the climb was much more difficult, but still quite doable, thanks to steps that werebuilt into the trailthere was even a railing at one particularly exposed section. Every so often, Pick and Iwould stop and take a drink of water, but Lucian never touched a drop. On a comical side note, I have tomention that Lucian carried his water up the mountain in an old rum bottleclassic! The climbing wasintense, and sometimes it was more like scrambling then hiking, but step by step, we moved closer to ourgoal.

As you near the top, if you can take your mind off your heavy breathing, you will notice that thevegetation around you is changing significantly. All four vegetation types, from dry coastal forest to cloudforest or elfin woodland, exist on Gros Piton, and the higher you go, the lusher the flora becomes. The

rich volcanic soil provides for stunning tropical vegetation, which in turn provides shelter for birds andeven mongoose.

When you reach the top of Gros Piton it comes as a bit of a surprise, just when you have resignedyourself to the never-ending climb, it ends. The summit is actually very large with dense foliage allaround, including a tall canopy that obscures your view. Once on the top, Lucian guided us east to anopen area in the trail to the first of two viewpoints. This vantage point affords views south to Vieux Fort

and out across the Atlantic Ocean to the island of St Vincent. In addition, you can see many settlementsfar below, tucked away in the thick stands of coconut palms.

The second viewpoint is reached by heading north on a spur trail, complete with wooden ladders, thatleads to excellent views of Petit Piton. The ladders are, seriously, one of the coolest parts of the entirehike; they make you feel like you are on a major trek through the jungle. Not to be outdone, the view ofPetit Piton and the Caribbean Sea is fantastic!

It had taken us two hours to reach the summit, a respectable time, and the return journey took justabout as longtiming in at one and a half hours, for a total hiking time of three and half hours. Thedescent is drastically steep, so steep that I wondered how in the heck we managed to climb up as fast aswe did. The loose rocks along the trail are notorious for causing your feet to slide out from under you onthe way down, but dont worry, there is an endless supply of trees to grab onto for support.

Back at the halfway point, we stopped to take in the views once again. The light had changed sinceour first time past, giving Petit Piton a whole new appearance. As the three of us rested on the rocks andthe comfy bench, we talked about our climbing experiences and exchanged addresses. Pick askedLucian, who had his dreadlocks tucked in a hat, how long his hair actually was, to which he cheerfullyreplied, Would you like to see? He then proceeded to take off his hat, allowing his dreads to cascadedown around his shoulders. It was really cool to see how proud he was of his dreadlocked mane, whichhad taken him ten years to grow. We had brought an extra Natural Born Hikers Buff on the hike to give toour guide, and now we knew it would definitely be a useful gift.

As you near the top, if you can take your mind off your heavy breathing, you will notice that thevegetation around you is changing significantly. All four vegetation types, from dry coastal forest to cloudforest or elfin woodland, exist on Gros Piton, and the higher you go, the lusher the flora becomes.

St. Lucia's Piton Mountains named World Heritage Site

Saturday, July 31, 2004

CASTRIES, St. Lucia: Last month, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and CulturalOrganization (UNESCO) named St. Lucia's Pitons Management Area (PMA) a World HeritageSite.

The Pitons, located in the picturesque south of the island, are a respected symbol of St. Luciaand are the most recognizable landmarks in the Caribbean. The Pitons were considered sacredto the island's first inhabitants, the Amerindians, and are immortalized today in the writings ofSt. Lucian Nobel Prize winner Derek Walcott.

"We are all very proud that UNESCO awarded World Heritage Site status to the PMA. It isrecognition and a reward for all the efforts made by local people and organizations to protect

this national treasure," says Director of Tourism Peter Hilary Modeste. "It will greatly enhancethe symbolic and economic value of the area and provide further incentive to develop tourismin harmony with the local culture and environment."

UNESCO names properties World Heritage Sites when they are considered to have"outstanding universal value," from an aesthetic, cultural and/or scientific point of view. Suchan honor reflects St. Lucia's beauty and commitment to eco-friendly development andpreservation.


14/29




The Pitons Management Area extends over 11 square miles and includes the magnificent twinpeaks of Gros and Petit Piton, the town of Soufriere, the nearby coral reefs, Sulphur Springs --one of the world's few drive-in volcanoes -- and the rare animal and plant species that thrive inthe area. This uniquely stunning location of St. Lucia is a result of a natural volcanic processthat helped shape these varying ecosystems.

The 11-square-mile Pitons Management Area near the town of Soufriere on the island's west

coast includes the Gros and Petit Pitons, two volcanic spires rising side by side from the sea(2526-ft and 2437-ft high respectively), linked by the Piton Mountain ridge. The volcaniccomplex includes a geothermal field with sulphurous fumeroles and hotsprings. Coral reefscover almost 60 percent of the site's marine area.

A survey has revealed 168 species of finfish, 60 species of cindaria, including corals, 8 molluscs,14 sponges, 11 echnioderms, 15 arthropods and 8 annelid worms. Hawksbill turtles are seeninshore, whale sharks and pilot whales offshore. The dominant terrestrial vegetation is tropicalmoist forest grading to subtropical wet forest with small areas of dry forest and wet elfinwoodland on the summits. At least 148 plant species have been recorded on Gros Piton, 97 onPetit Piton and the intervening ridge, among them eight rare tree species. The Gros Piton is

home to some 27 species (five of them endemic), three indigenous rodents, one opossum, threebats, eight reptiles and three amphibians. Source:http://whc.unesco.org

The PMA is now one of only five natural World Heritage Sites in the Caribbean region.

Just saw the magical Pitons....

California

Jan 31, 2009

Fresh off of a cruise ship, we had no idea what we would do on St. Lucia. Much to our goodfortune, a taxi driver (in a very clean, new, attractive car with seat belts & A/C) namedBertrand drove up. We asked him to take us to the beach, but asked what else was there to

do on St. Lucia. After agreeing on a fair price (for 3 hours) Bertrand, who speaks perfectEnglish, by the way, took us to every beautiful and interesting site on his island, of which heis incredibly proud. His tour was full of facts, information, humor and anecdotes & funnystories about this island & island life. He is a good man who loves his family. The Pitonswere the last attraction & were in my opinion, like looking at the face of God, so magical,beautiful, and because of the mist that drifted past as we got up close (Ladera Resort barkisses the Pitons, insist on a stop there) they were even a bit eerie. Much to our surprise,Bertrand spent not 3 but 5 hours with us that flew by. I promised him that I would put hisnumber on Trip Advisor so that he would never have to wait for work again, it would cometo him. One negative, no web site or email. But here's his number:(758) 584-0814 or (758) 720-7819. This island will make you want to forget your life &live there! Kathy Culley Santa Rosa, Ca. kcsdowtowngrill.com

Gros Piton Climb

London

Nov 22, 2008

To hike to the top of Gros Piton you are required to have a guide. The guides are organizedby the interpretive centre in the town Fond Gens Libre at the start of the trail. You caneither make your own way there or book a day trip through the community based GrosPiton Tours. The trip cost US$120 per person and included transport from our hotel in

Rodney Bay, guide for the hike (on their own the guides are US$30) and lunch at the FondDoux Estate after (http://www.fonddouxestate.com/).

The hike was a great rewarding work out taking around 4 hours round trip. There are somesteep sections and the hike back down can be slippery especially if there is a tropical downpour. The views along the trail where beautiful, however a little hazy at the top. You needto be of average fitness to complete the hike, but the guides are happy to take it slowly ifyou are struggling. Make sure you take lots of water to replace all the fluids you will lose -our guide didn't break a sweat, but we were all dripping. You legs will of course feel it thenext day, but nothing a swim in the sea wont fix.

All in all well worth the effort, I'm glad we ignored the hotel rep who tried to discourage usfrom taking the trip saying that it was too difficult.

Piton Climb

Jan 23, 2008

Petit Piton Challenge

On Tuesday 8th January 2008, Monica Kesson and Jane Wake undertook the Petit Piton

Challenge as part of a fund raising campaign. This Piton is less often climbed and moredifficult than the more commonly climbed Gros Piton and we were pleased when wecompleted the round trip in 3hrs 50 mins. Together with guides, we set off at about 08.00and the 2,400 foot (approx) climb involves relatively vertical scrambling almost from theword go. The uneven, loose terrain through the tropical rain forest in the soaring heat wasquite a challenge. The boulders got bigger as we ascended, but roots and branches providegood hand and foot holds. Once past the half way mark, ropes are in place to help the

intrepid challenger! Initially these ropes were quite difficult but not insurmountable;however they do become more challenging as you climb higher. The feeling of elation athaving achieved the summit and the stunning view of Soufriere and the Gros Piton made ita worthwhile experience. One which will remain very memorable for some time to come.(Doing this trip without a guide is not recommended, a good degree of physical fitness isrequired and safety gear would be useful).

A Spiritual Experience

Petit Piton with friends

We lived in St Lucia for 27 months as Peace Corps volunteers. The Pitons were visible frommany places around the island. Any scene with the Pitons in view is especially appealingand when you are near them they are inspiring to look at. Snorkeling at the base of thepitons is especially good and the nearby resorts are all exceptional. The view of the pitonsfrom the sea is awesome and you have not been in the Caribbean unless you have been tosee the pitons.The picture shows us with some of our St Lucian community partners. Petit Piton is in the

background.

Climbing Gros Pitons in St. Lucia

Submitted by Amy and Chris

While vacationing in St. Lucia in May, my boyfriend Chris and Idecided to hike the Pitons. When a taxi driver, concierge and localvendor all told us to drink lots of water and go to bed early thenight before our hike, we knew that we were in for a challengingday.

Nearly 3,000 feet above the Caribbean Sea, two volcanic spires in St. Lucia known as Gros Pitonand Petit Piton make up the Piton Management Area, a UNESCO World Heritage site recognized forits lush, green landscapes and diverse animal and plant life. The almost identical twin peaks are 2.5miles apart and can be seen from most parts of the island theyre completely awe-inspiring!

Gros Piton is the only mountain legally open for hikes, as the other is too steep and dangerous. For$25, anyone can hire a local guide and hike to the summit of Gros Piton to enjoy its breathtakingviews. You can book tours through the interpretive center in the town ofFond Gens Libre, at thebase of the mountain. The fee is reinvested in the community, and helps to pay the guides.

The town of Fond Gens Libre, which means valley of the free people, is a small, old settlement thatdates back to the 1700s. Small houses, tiny farms, roaming pigs, goats, and dogs greeted us. It is atight knit community, and many of the guides have lived in the village their entire lives. LucianusDenis was our laid back and informative Rastafarian guide. We also learned he was about to be afather for the first time!

During our hike, Denis showed us the old paths he used to carry water to the animals and the

charcoal pits he used. All along the challenging path, we saw smoking fires where the trees wereburned to make charcoal. The trail is rocky and strenuous, yet Denis never struggled and offered usfresh mangoes from his garden to keep us going. The views from the top were truly breathtaking,though, and worth the sweat and tears it took us to get to the top.

I would definitely recommend this adventure, and would recommend starting it early morningbefore the sun gets too hot. And, if you choose to do the hike with a local expert, ask for LucianusDenis!
