Hi all,

Ever since last year I have been wondering about a climb. It is on the triangular rock pillar just above the Requin Hut (one passes it when coming down from Aguille de Plan). Just at the bottom of Glacier d'Envers du Plan. Has been recently bolted with new shiny gear.

I asked at the guide office in Cham, but they had never heard of it.

You can see the triangular shaped rock on this picture:

Anyone with knowledge? Topo? Grade?

Cheers

Recently? There's this one but it's not recent: Les doigts de pieds en épouvantail. It's ED+ 6a+, 7a+, 6b+, 7a, 6b+, 5c. Jean-Marc Boivin et co in 1984.

To add, this is on Pt. 2977m.
It can be continued up the Chapeau a Cornes Ridge to the summit of the Requin.

Great stuff! The knowledge on this forum is sometimes incredible. Sounds like that could be it... Do you know where I may find a topo?

Envers des Aiguilles, Michel Piola English version 2007. I've got some unused copies of the book if you want to buy one...

£24 including postage - the French poste have just abandoned their cheap book rate or it'd be £21. Still £12 cheaper than full pice.
