UKC Logbook Description
A good route up the slabs under the overhanging yellow wall, but not nearly as good as Balade... A bit run out in its lower section. On the last but one pitch you'll come across some of Roland Ravanel's old pegs. Take 12 quickdraws and 2x50. 6b oblig. Descent: best to abseil down Balade.
