Description

Cool gneiss monolith on the sunny slopes facing the Argentiere glacier with stupendous views all around. Rumored that a shepherd has the first ascent in the late 1800's. There are routes on all sides of the Aguillette, and at least 8 routes on the wall behind it, including a 4 and a 5-pitch sport routes. Most (or all) routes are well bolted.

It's inside the nature reserve and ibex and other interesting animals flourish here.
