Start at the Panossière hut and follow the marked path down to the glacier de Corbassière. On the glacier, head southwest and avoid the first icefall on its right side (when going up). The next section is changing often due to the melting glacier, but normally you'll have to climb a gully (scrambling, loose rocks) to reach the upper glacier (SAC map point 3065m). From here on, follow the glacier (first in western direction and than head north) to reach the base of the summit slope. Either go directly from the glacier to the summit (snow, loose rocks) or reach the saddle (SAC Map point 3563m) and then climb the summit slopes. About 4 - 5 hours from the Panossière. Grade: WS/PD.
