Rockfax Description
150m. A pseudo-trad route (as is quite common in the Aiguilles Rouges) that takes in the lower of the two compact buttresses. It follows a nice groove line in the middle pitches.
1) 6a. A slab.
2) 6a. Head right round the overhang and cross the slab to the corner above.
3) 5c. Follow the crack and then slab above.
4) 6a. Follow the slab.
The route continues much further up Mont Oreb but those extra pitches are not described here. © Rockfax

βeta: You can abb down the gully (leftwards when facing the wall) at the top of P3 with two 60m ropes (there is also a mid-height station which could likely be reached on 50m ropes). This saves abbing the full route and is a cleaner abb. | βeta? | |
