A nice line in generally quite loose rock. The route is equipped with FIXE hangers and not PETZL as stated in M. Piola guidebook. (It took us 2 pitches to be sure we were on the right route.) The rock is like climbing on a slate roof sometimes not a lot of positive holds but not that steep (avoid route if wet)

Thought this route was popular because of ease of access but it's really fantastic climbing. Golden granite, white snow, blue skies.

We did it on 10cm of fresh snow starting as the first team of the day. Made good time until the raps, where we lost the line a bit (thank you to the alpine chough that yelled at me from the right path until I headed that way). Got to lead the crux pitches which was fun since shit acclimatization meant my head spun at anything over grade 3 and I ended up sewing the pitch (2 fixed cams, 1 nut, the Bolt, 1 sling higher up) and the chimney after (all the slings). At the end got lost again (took the traverse version rather than the crack), ended up building a gear belay before an exposed move so I could switch with my less sick partner. The last pitch was imo quite spicier than 4a, but then again I was dizzy enough to ask for a rope on the exit stairs lol.

P.S: left a gold DMM wallnut on the traverse, before the Petzl piton. Free to a good home, or if you get it back before the 13th I'll buy you a drink for it

Good via ferrata with the formations found on alpine routes

Roped up on 5m to downclimb the rappel. Not necessary. Nice walk back to the hut

Nice and easy. Crux pitch mostly clean rock.

Nice little climb. Snow on approach and starting ledge.

Putain ça grimpe

Well bolted. Some section are harder than 5c and require pulling on loose flakes. Beware drops of water after a lot of rain.

Sehr schön 😁💪

Very uneven

Athletic fun, really nicr for the grade 👌

Very nice for the grade, two slightly overhanging cruxes, loads of pockets fun

Essentially a 2 move 6c boulder, max move not possible

Nice route, dusty and wet on the day so hard to judge. Felt really hard

15 hr push, 1am alpine start, absolutely blasted reaching back to Aiguille du Midi. Need better Nutrition next time. Made it regardless

Avec le flash millimétré de Gab le lazer. Très belle voie de conti où il faut garder du jus pour le spice du final.

Belle, piégeuse à souhait et variée avec un finish spicy!

Es hat noch nicht ganz gereicht… ich sollte bei meiner Beta bleiben…

cloudy and cold, very popular route, with so many people

Ganz schön luftig und fordernd oben raus…

what should I say, it's fucking awesome

with beautiful Mont-blanc aside

with beautiful view

amazing

My first Alpine route in Chamonix

Well, I was really nervous after abseiling that wall (we took the "wrong" approach). The crux consists of two or three moves in the middle section of the pitch. I searched for the essential foot hold quite a while, until I was confident enough to stick it. At the end I got a lot of rope drag.

Mostly free without rope.

Keine 5b wenn man den rechten Riß benutzt

Abgespeckt, aber solide Griffe

Very crowded but astonishing view. Good an comfortable belays.

Gear on makes a huge difference on the slabby middle section. Respect Felix for placing the draws. You get rewarded with a juggy slight overhanging finish if you manage the slab.

Simply done

Way to hard the overhang.

Tear down

The left variant of the next route left to 'Le Caprice'

#warmup in the ramp with alternative exit whoich is harder than 4c.

First 2 bolts pre-clipped for the sake of safety.

Speckige Rampe

Nicht zu weit links einsteigen.

Mentales Plattentraining. Lose Griffe und Tritte erhöhen die Anspannung.
