[Petits Charmoz Traverse, 4 kb]A highly reccomended little route which is extremely popular. The granite, though sound, is often very polished and the ascent to the Col de l'Etala provides a classic initiation into the delights of the typical 'Chamonix' chimney!

A little harder than the guide suggested, and watch the description in the guide as it may not always be correct!
