160m, 7 pitches.
One of the more accessible routes at La Balme considering the average level of difficulty at the crag. Zebra has at least one hard, somewhat bouldery crux per pitch for which Balme is reputed. P4 & P5 can be combined into a single pitch without rope drag.
Descent: Abseil down the route. Be careful not to get ropes stuck in the vegetation on P6 when rappelling.
