Lift to Lift. Avoided the aid pitch and finished up O Sole Mio. Great combination and a great day!

My favorite route of the trip - the 1980s French guidebook photocopy given to us at the Chamonix guides office was near to useless. We simul-climbed the first few pitches with me leading and routefinding, then pitched from the 6a+ onward, turning back at the belle terrase as snow started to fall. Be warned, the guidebook underestimates the grade! I'd put the 6a+ pitch at b+ at least! both of us fell at the upper of it's two cruxes.
Bolted belays with chains or rope connectors and lowering rings allow for a quick escape. 30m spacing allows two parties on 60m half ropes to lower from alternate stations.

Abbed off before aid pitch - just too knackered.

crowded, up to five teams on a stance, best climbed outside of peak season. fantastic route, roof pitch not 6b, closer to 7a! (used aid).

fantastic route!,the pitch below the aid was brilliant climbed all the hard pitches then had to bail two pitches from the top as my partner needed to get the last bin down for work, gutting

Description above is incorrect. Stunning route, very crowded, snow melting off ledges made things very wet. Cold for July.
