1) 6a+, 2) 6a. Walk left across the grassy gully to reach the foot of the next pitch.
3) 6b, 4) 6a, 5) 6b. © Rockfax

βeta: First pitch has a hard move on the pillar and some run outs albeit easy climbing. Super route, 6b pitches are steep and mega fun. Agree with others regarding top ab. Knot can easily get stuck (and did, temporarily ) so extend down as much as you can. Best to take shoes and walk off in hindsight (I didn't check ukc comments prior.)

βeta: Lots of people seem to only check the Rockfax guide, and abseil on the routes. In summer this is really not necessary! And not recommended, with rockfall and other people on the routes. Just walk over the summit, go around, walk to the right, follow the cairns, and walk down the couloir. This is described in the Aig Rouges topo by Piola.
