350m.
15min approach from the Argentière refuge. Head for the “rabbit ears” rock formation. Grade II for ~100m then 3c, 4c corner, 4c chimney, 4b arete with 3 pegs, several short steps of III to the summit. Easy descent from summit then down snow gully (45deg) leads to path back to hut.

βeta: Scramble up to the rabbit ears to start. Take a set of nuts and cams. There’s a few bolted belays but mostly trad. 3-4 hours on route. Descent onto Glacier des Améthystes via the relatively steep snow gully and follow edge around. You don’t actually need to go onto the glacier. The Les Chevaux is absolutely fantastic, if a bit scary (but well protected with pegs on right hand side). | βeta? | |
