150m, 5 pitches.

Rockfax Description
1) 4c, 2) 2, 3) 4a, 4) 5a, 5) 3+. A classic up the long ridge gives Alpine-style climbing by the seaside. Popular and polished, but it doesn't spoil the experience. It can make a great end to a long day if you walk back home along the plateau at the top. Start up the polished wall in the gap behind the Petite Aiguille. Continue along the ridge in 1 or 2 pitches to a belay on a block below the upper wall. Take the well-climbed line up this in 2 or 3 pitches. © Rockfax

βeta: Some polish on first pitch but not too bad. Route very well bolted on hard pitches. Ridge traverse approx 50m pitch, others less than 30m. A great day out. Descent can be tricky to find, keep going right (for descent to beach) until you find the scree filled wide gully, some short scrambling too.
