Very good climb. James did very well but got lost by the knife blade. Intimidating but amazing. Rush in last 4 pitches to make the last lift. Made it! Descent not very nice
martinazando - AltLd - 08/Aug/12 with James Lam
Climbed with Julia. Amazing route with fantastic pitches. Razor edge pitch has amazing exposure. Final pitch up the clocher seemed extremely blank with iffy bolts so gave it a miss. Descent easier than had been warned.

Lead all the key pitches expect for the "Razor traverse", which Ed opted to traverse on the left, a pitch that felt hard and awkward to 2nd. Had trouble finding start, actually lead some of a harder corner line lower down the gully. Despite this comfortably made the lift down, after a slightly late start. 7 pitches, if prepared to run together.

Great! Took much longer than the 5 hour estimate from the guidebook though, and we had to quit when it got dark, unfortunately without having climbed the Clocher (final pinnacle) itself. The descent walk is described as being easy to find, which, in the dark, it is not, so after searching quite a while we decided to bivouac. Pretty cold, but a nice sunrise brought back our smiles, and in the light the walk down was easier to find.

Some moving together on the easier sections. I lead crux pitches including the final ascent of the tooth at the end. Felt like VS, 5a and a bit shaky in the wind. The final pitch also has a spike of rock which seems quite unstable. When this comes away, the final pitch will change significantly.

Tremendous day out. Did it in me boots (difficult on slabs). Route is long and path finding on decent could be tricky (hence the hard D+). Fortunately we had a pair of frenchies to follow. Allow about 8 hours for everything, more if youre slow.

Brilliant! Low cloud meant the views were limited (but atmospheric), and had quite a struggle to even find the route at the start of the day. Some tough moves up some of the corners, and on two short slabby sections.

Approach not easy - had to climb through an ice tunnel in the gully:not cool. Overtaken by a group of aspirant guides from austria and their instructor before we started. They were very nice, and set a fast pace for us to follow!

Unfortunately did not have the time to get on the Chapelle pinnacle itself, we misread the route and ended up on the extremely weathered pinnacle at the right hand side of the amazing Rasoir pitch, which wasted enough time for the weather to move in. Got to the base of the Chapelle and escaped via the normal descend route.
