Rempart Mountain is a mountain near Tamarin in the Rivière Noire District, western Mauritius. Rempart Mountain is the fourth-highest peak in Mauritius, after Le Pouce.[2]
It is notable for its prominence, which is due to its three distinct peaks. The westernmost peak, known as Big Gorilla Peak or First Ridge, reaches a height of 772m (2,533feet). The middle peak, Montagne Kasé, is slightly taller than the Trois Mamelles (Three Breasts), which stand at around 600m (2,000feet). The easternmost peak, the original Rempart, is the shortest at 545m (1,788feet).[3]
The mountain itself is composed of weathered rock. It is considered a challenging climb. While a climbing ladder that once existed has been removed, the mountain remains on private property. Ascents require permission and are best undertaken with a guide. Despite these restrictions, trespassing for climbing purposes is not uncommon.
