500m, 15 pitches. A 15-pitch climb in the right-hand part of TĂȘte de la Draye south wall. Well bolted (2022). Includes two grassy parts which do not degrade climbing pleasure.
Descent: walk up to TĂȘte de la Draye summit, then take tourist trail to Ailefroide.

βeta: To find the start: Go along the upper path that runs parallel the river. About 20m past a viewpoint (an obvious platform with a stone retaining wall) there is a boulder scree, just past that a path goes up left, 20m further is a tree with a trail marking on one side and the number 15 on the far side. Take the path that went up left. The stream was very small and not visible from the main path. There is a fallen ash tree at the base of the climb crossing the path. The fallen ash has the same diameter as Alex Megos' beautiful biceps.

βeta: Hard to find the start, a bit further back than expected, buried In the trees-follow the rock back and up in left hand side Hardest move for me (5ft6) was on pitch 6. Drank water from the stream on the way down and was fine.
