Rockfax Description
II, 150m, 1 - 1.5 hours. It is possible to climb the face just about anywhere, but the most common option is to climb it on the left, meeting the rocks about halfway up. This option climbs 40 - 45 degree snow with belays possible using the rocks on the left. At the top of the slope, follow the aesthetic snow ridge to the final buttress, which provides a short, straightforward scramble to the summit. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
From the foot of the Aiguille de Toule, head up towards the Col d'Entrèves, then fork left towards the Col Occidental de Toule. Go up a steepening snow slope then follow the attractive snow ridge to the rocky summit. Descend either the same way or scramble down the scree on the East Face.

βeta: Pretty good conditions on the snow climb although crusty in parts, enjoyed a sunny summit but then a slightly harrowing descent given the slushy snow having been in the sun. Stick to the rocks (loose rubble) with down climbing until you’re back on the glacier. Really good consolation prize after bailing off the N Face of Tour Ronde | βeta? | |
