Rockfax Description
220m. A fun route taking an excellent line up a clean sweep of rock. It is bolted but they are well spaced.
1) 4b, 35m. Climb leftwards easily across the slab to belay 5m left of a large corner.
2) 4c, 20m. Pass through the overlap and climb the slab above to a ledge.
3) 5b, 25m. Climb the wall above the belay and then a nice slab to a belay on a ridge, overlooking the approach to the Aiguilles Crochues.
4) 2a, 30m. Follow the ridge easily to the upper wall.
5) 5b, 35m. Head up and left on a good slab then scramble left up a vague ridge to belay on a ledge beneath steeper ground.
6) 6a, 35m. The crux! A cheeky pull on a bolt reduces the grade to 5b but that would be cheating!
7) 4b, 30m. Easier slabbier ground leads to the top. © Rockfax
