[Pete on Oiseaux HVS 5a/b, 2 kb]The central line of the slab is an excellent climb that has just about adequate protection as long as care is taken to seek it out. Start in the centre of the slab below rusty twin pegs at mid-height. 23m. Follow a thin crack on good holds, slightly rightwards, to the twin pegs. Step right and climb the sustained upper wall on shallow dishes and thin seams to the top. © ROCKFAX

very nice climbing - quite tricky above the peg with dubious spaced gear - would probably give this E1 5a
