The extended and more technical traverse.
Start at the red smiley.
Part1 - 5a,4c,5a,5b,3b
Part 2 - walk 300m
Part 3 - 3b,3b (harder variants exist)
Part 4 - walk / scramble to the foot of the next tower
Part 5 - 5a (likely bypassable on the right)
Part 6 - 2/3 across the arête to the true summit(tricky route finding)

This is a more technical variant to the other traverse here, well worth seeking out!

A good description here https://www.camptocamp.org/routes/355433/fr/becs-noirs-arete-n

Difficile as per the guidebook but really its 5 plasir pitches leading onto the ridge traverse and the 5a pitch at the end is well bolted. Probably AD is more realistic.
