After descending from Aiguille Du Midi did this before coming back round to do the Cosmiques Arete. Nice straight forward climbing. Had to be quick on the descent to the Col du Midi as there was fresh evidence of Serac fall.

Nice wee easy route in impressive surroundings, slightly easy than cos arête but longer with approach/decent. Watch out for the seracs hanging of tucals North face, watched some guys descending narrowly avoid getting taken out and it was only a minor fall.
