Description
Fun interesting moves (without squirming), but too short in itself.
But makes a fun connection for a multi-pitch from the bottom (Melchsee) to cliff-top of Miroir).
Or makes a nice start to the "Voie Directe" or "Zygofolis" routes in the upper part.
Or could be used to access the Mid-Level Ledge at the top of lower part and the bottom of the upper part of sector Miroir.
Up the wide open corner / gully to the ledge at its top.
Variation: Instead take the face to the left of the chimney (less interesting and not easier).
Top-Rope: Could be use the two-bolt anchor at left side of top of Miroir as top anchor, and have bottom-belayer on the Mid-Level Ledge.
warning: The rock on and near this route has not been climbed much yet, and some of the rock is still breakable and loose -- so the belayer and other people should stand far away from underneath the climber.
Location
Partway up along the left edge of the Miroir face is an obvious gully / wide open corner of broken rock.
Find it by scrambling up arouund the left side of sector 7 Melchsee, then continuing a bit higher than the ledge at the top of the Melchsee face.
