8 pitches.

Rockfax Description
1) 6a+, 2) 7a, 3) 6c, 4) 4a, 5) 6a+, 6) 6c, 7) 6a+, 8) 2. A fine, direct route with a lot of excellent climbing across a variety of styles, though erring towards the strenuous end of the spectrum. The route is fully equipped, pulling on a bolt on P2 lowers the grade to a beefy 6c, though save a bit for the upper 6c pitch. Start left of the initial corner of La malet, where the first of the glue-in bolts can be seen. © Rockfax

βeta: Done on an 80m single- could definitely run pitches 3 and 4 (6c and 4a) and pitches 6 and 7 (6c and very soft 6a+) together for speed (need 20 draws or so). Final pitch (French 2) is really a simple scramble up some blocks- very safe, consider as a 6/7 pitch route rather than 8 when planning for time. Path down the back to St Jeanette takes 25 mins or so- much easier and safer than the scramble back down the south face! Brilliant climbing- if you're a 6cish leader, definitely consider this- easily escapable anywhere as bomber staples throughout. Only two or three tough moves on the crux pitch.
