The pic de Maupas or tuca de Malpás is a peak in the central Pyrenees, culminating at 3,109 m (10,200 ft) on the Franco-Spanish border.
Toponymy
Maupas means "bad passage" because the passage from the Maupas glacier (now disappeared) to the summit slope is a little awkward.
Geography
It is located in Aragon in Spain and Haute-Garonne department (France), above Bagnères-de-Luchon.
Topography
It dominates the cirque des Crabioules and Superbagnères to the north, and the valle de Remuñe to the south.
Geology
The summit is mainly granitic.
Access
There are many climbing routes. Access is possible on the eastern ridges (from the pic de Boum) and west (from the col des Crabioules, or by intermediate skiing slopes). The standard route lies to the north via the refuge du Maupas, then the pass between la Tusse and the pic de Maupas.
