Rockfax Description
1) 5b, 2) 6a+, 3) 6c, 4) 6b. Possibly the best line up the Monolithe and with the best rock. Break out right from the easy groove and climb the rib a stance by a the cave. Climb slabbier rock with good moves to the next belay. The third pitch is the crux, with steeper to the right of La Classique. The final pitch is less steep and eases with height. Abseil descent. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Probably the best line up the Monolithe with the best rock on it. This goes up the far right. The first pitch (5b) goes up next to the cave at the base to the first chain. The second pitch (6a+) goes up the slabby area with good moves on it to the next chain. The third pitch (6c) with the crux goes up slightly to the right of La Classique going up some steep climbing. The final pitch (6b) is less steep and gets easier nearer the top till you get to the chain on the summit. To get down there are two 45 meter abseils using the chains so make sure you take the right ropes with you.
