240m, 6 pitches. TDinf. Single bolts for belays, some pitons in situ for the harder sections. The easier ground is very well protected with nuts and cams, but in situ pitons (which seem in acceptable condition, summer 2011) are the only protection for a few sections. Route is rather lichenous and appears to see very little traffic. The "large fissure pour un gros friend" looks to require a friend 5, but the pitch is acceptably protectable without it.

The description in the topo appears to have some errors and omissions. P2 seemed considerably easier than the two subsequent pitches (maybe 5b if the other grades are correct). P3 could do with specifying that the roof near the top is turned on the right. P4 states traverse left before "the overhanging part". There are several short overlaps in the corner that are dealt with without too much difficulty, and the final one is no harder than the others and can be taken direct if desired. P3 and P4 lengths seemed to be more like 35m and 40m. As stated in the description, P2 does require a couple of metres of moving together on easy scrambling terrain to reach the belay.
