. . (previous name "Rebuffat" was for Gaston Rebuffat, who pioneered some still-popular routes on granite. Perhaps more famous for writing books with photographs of climbing around Mont Blanc, which inspired many climbers around the world to come to Chamonix and climb the great + long granite routes.

warning: The rock in this sector has not been climbed much yet, and much of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.
